For example http://<host>:<port>

| Problem | Why is this happening | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| npm cannot reach destination | proxy | When within managed network, you should set your proxy to NPM as the following: npm config set proxy http://<host>:<port> npm config set https-proxy http://<host>:<port> |
| git protocol is blocked and cannot connect | managed network rules for protocols | When within managed network, you should set globally that when git protocol is used, then it will be replaced with "https" git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// |
