title: Running npm behind a corporate firewall: what do I need to tell the security team?
body: <p>I am trying to run node.js but cannot install any packages as <code>npm</code> is blocked. I have tried the solutions here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9181637/how-to-fill-proxy-information-in-cntlm-config-file/15437508#15437508">How to fill in proxy information in cntlm config file?</a>, and here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18569054/npm-behind-ntlm-proxy/18570201#18570201">NPM behind NTLM proxy</a> and still received errors. I have tripled checked that I have followed the instructions and my ini has the same configuration as the instructions. </p>
  
  <p>My next step is to ask the security team to allow <code>npm</code> access through the firewall, but I cannot see any documentation about this. What do I need to tell the security team?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am aware of <code>npm</code> Enterprise but I think before I get to that step I need to get established with <code>npm</code>. </p>
