SOLVED:  
This error was caused by FW rule. That's mean if you https policy has been set to inspect everything, then error occur.

To solve it you just need to add exception for [api.snapcraft.io](http://api.snapcraft.io) and that's it. All will run perfectly.

To be sure just first after making changes on FW check:  
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p critical ca-certificates  
and then  
snap install node-red
