Good morning I am trying to develop my wordpress theme using the latest version of Sage.  
I am working on Win11 with WSL 2. I use wamp server as web server on port 8081.  
In bud.config.js I use this configuration:  
app  
.setUrl(new URL(‘[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)’))  
.setProxyUrl(new URL(‘[http://io:8081](http://io:8081)’))  
.watch([‘resources/views’, ‘app’]);

where ‘io’ is resolved to my local ip address (192.168.1.161).  
I have two problems;  
1- yarn build uses 136 seconds to compile everything  
2- yarn dev opens the browser at localhost:3000, keeps running and after 3/4 minutes it tells me:  
Error occurred while trying to proxy: localhost:3000/

Error occurred while proxying request localhost:3000/ to [http://io:8081/](http://io:8081/) [ETIMEDOUT] ([Errors | Node.js v23.3.0 Documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors))  
In console error 504

where do I go wrong?  
Thank you
