Question

Could not proxy request /pusher/auth from localhost:3000 to http

Answer 1

I faced a similar issue but in Mac machine. I changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 and that worked for me.

For windows:

"proxy": {
  "/auth/google": {
    "target": "localhost:5000"
  }
}

For Mac:

"proxy": {
  "/auth/google": {
    "target": "http://127.0.0.1:5000"
  }
}
