Current behavior

I am getting the following error right out the box. As soon as the app tries to connect to the chuck norris api, I see the following error in the terminal [HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request /jokes/random?category=dev from localhost:4200 to https://api.chucknorris.io (ECONNREFUSED) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)

Expected behavior

Should not see above error, connecting to the api from localhost should work

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Just clone the base app(https://github.com/ngx-rocket/starter-kit.git), build and run

Just tried and I cannot reproduce the issue. 2 possibilities comes to my mind:

• api.chucknorris.io was down when you were trying (it happens, it's a free public API)
• You have network connection issues. Are you behind a corporate proxy? If so, check that your configuration is correct especially the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
