How can I configure node.js and npm to run behind a web proxy?

I tried the following solutions but they didn't work for me.

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

and

npm config set proxy http://username:[email protected]:8080

First open a command console at the location of your npm installation.

Then you can configure your npm to use a proxy using the commands:

npm config set proxy http://{url}:{port}
npm config set https-proxy http://{url}:{port}

Notice the protocol is set to http for both the proxy and https-proxy variables.

If you would like npm to store your credentials for the proxy, you can additionally modify the commands as follows:

npm config set proxy http://{username}:{passphrase}@{url}:{port}
npm config set https-proxy http://{username}:{passphrase}@{url}:{port}

For example:

npm config set proxy http://LanguidSquid:[email protected]:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://LanguidSquid:[email protected]:8080

This worked for me!

  1. npm config set strict-ssl false
  2. npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
  3. npm config set proxy http://login:pass@host:port
  4. npm config set https-proxy http://login:pass@host:port

NOTE: Remember to add https:// instead of http:// when setting registry

Hope that helps.

  • `npm config set strict-ssl false` is doing the trick when behind a proxy PAC, but it is a bit dirty... why NPM can't use the proxy PAC settings ? – fallais Oct 21 '21 at 07:01
