const peerServer = PeerServer({
    port: 9000,
});

I'm having this same issue

Thanks for the report. I can’t reproduce this on my machine.

Maybe:

• remove the lock file and install the npm packages again
• update Node (v16 should be fine, but 16.16.0 is a year old by now)
• make sure Windows is up to date

Now I am using nodejs v20.3.0 and I removed modules and the lock file. Everything is working now. thanks a lot.
