Unable to install any npm pakage

I have tried to run commands like npm config delete http-proxy and I also deleted my .npmrc, but it didn't work. The following are some of the errors I encountered:

npm ERR! code ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! syscall connect
npm ERR! errno ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! network request to http://registry.npmjs.org/express failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 2606:4700:90c3:80e2:e464:3f2:6810:22:80
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.

Are you on a VPN (work) & behind a firewall?

If that is the case then you'll need to set your work proxy in the .npmrc file as mentioned below, otherwise, if you are in your home network and you don't have a VPN, and empty .npmrc file should be fine.

    proxy=http://WorkProxy.domain.com:80
    https-proxy=http://WorkProxy.domain.com:80
    strict-ssl=false

Note: In the case of a firewall, you might also need to work with your IT security to make it work.
