pip install issue with ssl certificate:[SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_ACCESS_DENIED]

Pip version:9.0.1
Python version:3.6.3
Operating system:Win7

Description:
I'm trying to install python libraries in my laptop but run into an SSL certificate error when running pip -install for any library. I have tried several suggestions from other posts but all of them didn't work. Can someone kindly help me to resolve this SSL issue? Thanks in advance.

What I've run: 

C:\Users\zhouweiq>pip install requests
Collecting requests
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/requests/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_ACCESS_DENIED] tlsv1 alert access denied (_ssl.c:777) - skipping  
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requests (from versions: )

  • I also got the same issue but after configuring proxy it resolved. Proxy in Windows-> internet options-> connections -> LAN settings.
