Hey guys. I know the issue is closed, but probably it will help someone.

We faced similar issue. And the root cause was in proxy that was not set in environment variables. We have a corporate proxy that is set on system level, also it was set in yarn-config. But it looks like PW uses envrionment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY to download browser.

So once proxy variables were set - everything became fine.

Yeah, looks like azure playwright.azureedge.net is not accessible from where you are 😕

I’m having this issue now and only a VPN connection solved the problem. So, to install a NPM package I need a VPN? What is going on?

Take a look: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/5442.
