I have WSL 2 on my Windows 10 (* Ubuntu-20.04 Running 2). I installed nvm and node on it.

nvm --version: 0.35.3

nvm ls:

->     v14.11.0
default -> node (-> v14.11.0)
node -> stable (-> v14.11.0) (default)
stable -> 14.11 (-> v14.11.0) (default)

but then npm install anything gets stuck, for example: npm install @angular/cli@latest -g shows the following:

[..................] - fetchMetadata: sill resolveWithNewModule @angular/cli@10.1.2 checking installable status

and after some time it errors out:

npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/minimatch failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 172.64.33.72:443

I also have Node install on Windows and it works there. I tried to stop antivirus - this doesn't help.

Can anyone please help with this networking issue?
