What's Wrong?

I am trying to run Claude Code behind a firewall, using the newer Console Account (api billing) method. I have the following domains set to be allowed.

•	api.anthropic.com
•	claude.ai
•	sentry.io
•	statsig.anthropic.com
•	console.anthropic.com
•	cdn.anthropic.com
•	static.anthropic.com
•	files.anthropic.com
•	auth.anthropic.com

However the first command I run with Claude Code hangs for 5 minutes and then the later commands work fine. I think the endpoint works okay since I don't see the same issue in open code so I suspect there is some specific domain I can't reach when Claude Code starts.

What Should Happen?

Have less than 60 second wait for command to start
