For a solution, see below
It was working yesterday, but I don't know what happened to it.
NPM is not installing the package. The hostname/IP address doesn't match the certificate's altnames:
Host: registry.npmjs.org. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:a.sni.fastly.net, DNS:a.sni.global-ssl.fastly.net
This is what I was trying to do:
>> ROOT: } npm install
up to date in 1.797s
>> ROOT: } npm install express-messages
npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/express-messages failed, reason: Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames: "Host: registry.npmjs.org. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:a.sni.fastly.net, DNS:a.sni.global-ssl.fastly.net"
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/prashant/.npm/_logs/2018-09-01T11_54_09_205Z-debug.log
>> ROOT: }
I have read all the articles/issues that I could find and also have re-installed Node.js and npm, but after that too I have the same issue.
OS: macOS v10.12 (Sierra) (16A323)

But I have already tried to change the SSL setting npm config ls -l by npm set strict-ssl false.
It stucks on this image link: https://imgur.com/9LasDKT
And then this error: https://imgur.com/ARXj9v3
Update
My application is running fine. It's just I am not able to install packages https://imgur.com/mvKOZeq
There is a new kind of error that comes when I try to stop the server
(Note: I have changed the SSL setting as mentioned above, if it has something to do with that) https://imgur.com/yPKq0n5

I found a solution that worked for me
dig www.npmjs.com @1.1.1.1
Add the IP address to your /etc/hosts file.
Go to this directory and do sudo nano hosts.
And add this into the host file: 1.1.1.1 a.sni.fastly.net.
