I’m running into this issue when calling dfx start from my local computer.
I’m using an M1 MacBook and the dfx version is v0.15.1

❯ dfx start --clean
Running dfx start for version 0.15.1
Using project-specific network 'local' defined in /Users/dire.sol/dev/icp/augmented-btrees/dfx.json

Can you rm -r $(dfx cache show) and try again?

I deleted the cache and tried dfx start --clean again, but I got the same error.

I’m having the same problem.

I’m not entirely sure if it’s the same issue, but I had trouble connecting from my school’s network.
I connected using a VPN and it worked fine afterwards.
