Upgrading the react-scripts to ^3.4.1 and clearing npm cache seems to fix the current issue and the app starts fine. I can submit a PR with updated package version.

But then my machine fails to connect to the foreign host saying connection refused, more details here ECONNREFUSED. Is there anyhow to go around this?
