How do i connect my backend(nodejs) to my react app all runing on gitpod

Question

i want to connect my backend to the react app using the proxy in package.json but i got an error showing up at the front page of the react app "invalid host header"

i tried these "proxy": "http://localhost:5000", and then i tried these "proxy": "https://5000-kcpele-shopclone1-7vpnj3r84gc.ws-eu38.gitpod.io/" I was expecting it to connect so i could use axios to fetch the data from the backend api like these axios.get("/api/products")
