Hi there, I use Node-RED behind a firewall, which blocks all data traffic from and to the Internet. The block is only temporarily lifted for individual URLs if necessary, for example to install updates. The firewall simply terminates the connections to the Internet. No status and no response is sen…

How exactly are you starting Node-RED? Also please include the output of the startup log (so we can see the version information) And just to help try and reproduce this, how exactly is the firewall closing the connection, is it just dropping packets or replying with a reject?

Node-RED has the version 1.2.9. An update to 2.1.4 is being planned. I start Node-RED via a batch file that is registered as a Windows service. The batch file contains the following: node-red --settings C:\node-red\settings.js -u C:\node-red\instance The output looks like this: C:\node-red>D:\no…

When I try to call the named URL on the server using PowerShell, the following is displayed: PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest https://registry.npmjs.org Invoke-WebRequest : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. At line:1 char:1 + Invoke-WebRequest https://registry.npmjs.org + ~…

If you wait 3 minutes it will proceed. Alternatively.... [image] Node-RED v0.19.4 3 minute delay during startup on windows General Finally - node-red startup 3 minutes faster! For anyone behind a proxy having a 3 minute delay starting node-red... Using notepad/text edi…

On December 29th, 2021 there was an unplanned restart. Node-RED had not continued the startup process until this morning.

I've seen that where the console (CMD) is paused & required a keyboard input. Not saying that is definitely what happened to you but that these things do happen. In other words, the issue you see today looks more like the 3m delay issue & the issue you had in Dec may be a different issue? Where yo…

I was 90% sure we had fixed this, but looks like we might want to add an option to disable the update check when just asking npm for it's version. node-red/node-red/blob/91cb6ba73b521c1334b6559dc69ee165f34cb931/packages/node_modules/@node-red/registry/lib/installer.js#L581 …

@NetHans Can you please test with the NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 environment variable set as I'm struggling to reproduce here at the at moment. Running SET NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 before node-red --settings C:\node-red\settings.js -u C:\node-red\instance should be what you need. Also can you supply the out…

Hello hardillb, Thank you for the hint with the environment variable. Setting this worked fine. The NPM version 6.14.13 is currently still installed on the system. C:\>npm -v 6.14.13

[image] NetHans: Setting this worked fine. Like I said it would :thinking: :joy::joy: Did you read the info in the link I posted in post no 5 above?
