Error occurred while trying to proxy request / from localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8787 (ECONNREFUSED)

Hello! I'm following the Quickstart. When I run yarn dev and visit http://localhost:8080, the browser displays "Error occured while trying to proxy to: localhost:8080/" and the terminal displays:

[client] [HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request / from localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8787 (ECONNREFUSED) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)

If I visit http://localhost:8787/, the browser displays "You're running React on the Edge!"

I don't see anything about port 8787 in the docs and am not sure about the implications of using that port instead of 8080.

I'm using:

• Node v17.6.0
• Yarn 1.22.15
• Flareact 1.5.0

Hi, were you able to get this working in the end?

I've tested on Node v17 and received a different error show below:

[client] node:internal/crypto/hash:67
[client]   this[kHandle] = new _Hash(algorithm, xofLen);
[client]                   ^
[client]
[client] Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
...

I fixed this by setting an env variable:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Once passed this node v17 worked as expected when accessing on http://localhost:8080:

🚀 Starting Flareact dev server on http://localhost:8080 ...

For me it worked to downgrade to Node 16.
