hmmm. trying to install mesh central on a host behind an authenticated proxy.
how do I add a username & pwd??

What proxy is that?

corporate proxy at work.
think I have to go
npm config set proxy http://username:password#proxy:port

got it. i can get out 2 ways.
1 by supplying auth creds manually and out via proxy.old
2 by auto auth and going out by proxy.new
proxy.new worked with npm config set proxy http://ipaddress:port

If so, how do I blow it all away?

I have the time to blow it away and start again.

What you are seeing is normal. If you do want to blow it all away, just delete all the contents in C:\MeshCentral\

Just realized that the Vultr Firewall makes it kind of easy to have Cockpit easily accessible.

so i got mesh central working and it's pretty good.
when I did the install I didn't use the --install switch so I don't have Windows service.
How can I add a Windows service so it will auto start after a reboot??
