Answer 1

try:

npm config rm proxy

then:

npm config rm https-proxy

Answer 2

I faced the same issue, I was not behind any proxy, and fixed it by just updating node and npm.

Install n:

npm i -g n

Update node using n:

n lts

Update npm:

npm i -g npm

And then create your react app:

npx create-react-app my-apps

I would also suggest using yarn:

yarn create react-app my-apps
