Hi, It has been working until a few days ago, the 'Alexa init' node has the grey message `'init with proxy'`

I am using a RPI.

I get this on my terminal when i start NodeRED with the command 'node-red'  
`2 Nov 09:25:52 - [info] [alexa-remote-account:45cd036d.732c4c] intialising with the PROXY method and saved data...`

Any ideas what this means ?

Thanks
