Troubleshooting SSL/TLS Error When Installing Cypress in Corporate Environment

[KSHCR7]

I am trying to install Cypress in my corporate environment using npm, but I am encountering an SSL/TLS error.
I suspect it might be related to our corporate proxy settings

Error Message:
When I run npm install cypress --save-dev, I received the following error:
npm ERR! code ERR_SSL_TLSV1_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME npm ERR! errno ERR_SSL_TLSV1_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME npm ERR! request to https://proxy.example.net/cypress failed, reason: D04D0000:error:0A000458:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 unrecognized name:c:\ws\deps\openssl\openssl\ssl\record\rec_layer_s3.c:1586:SSL alert number 112

Environment:
Operating System: Windows
Node.js version: Latest version npm version: Latest version

If anyone has encountered a similar issue or possesses knowledge in this area, your insights would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I am looking for:

• Advanced troubleshooting techniques that might be applicable in this scenario?
• Insights into potential causes that are not typically addressed by standard procedures?
• Any additional steps or configurations that I may have overlooked?

For Git configuration:

• git config --global https.proxy http://proxy.example.net:70
• git config --global http.proxy http://proxy.example.net:70

For Certificate Issues:(Consult the security team before executing these commands)

• npm set strict-ssl=false
• set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0

Installing Cypress locally:
I followed the installation instructions provided by Cypress, installing it as a desktop application on my local machine, After installation, I attempted to run Cypress, but I faced issues possibly related to my corporate proxy settings.

Seek help:

• Dive deep into cypress documentation.
• Reach out to our Corp-Networking team None of the above resolved the SSL/TLS certificate issue!

CC: @cypress-github-team-services-sa When I configured the environment & npm & HTTP/HTTPS & Git and the Certificate there were no indications of errors within the CMD.

I executed npm install cypress --save-dev again -> Same error showed up again -> npm ERR! code ERR_SSL_TLSV1_UNRECOGNIZE
Can anyone help me overcome this issue, please?
