Offline mode in Neo4j Desktop 1.4.7

Hi,

I am unable to find a setting in Neo4j Desktop 1.4.7 for offline mode on Windows. I work in a semi-closed environment that has strict firewall rules for external access by applications - which means some HTTP requests are ok and others are not.

Neo4J Desktop is failing in a few ways:

  1. I get these messages in the browser

An error occurred while processing Graph Application Download from install.graphapp.io. Cannot resolve graph app type. Please check your internet connection or Graph App link.
The following logs may help you diagnose the issue:
Desktop logs

and

An error occurred while processing Graph Application Neo4j Etl Ui. Cannot resolve graph app type. Please check your internet connection or Graph App link.

The following logs may help you diagnose the issue:* Desktop logs

When I try to create a local graph DBMS I get the following:

DBMS failed to create: Error: Could not find any version of neo4j-jwt-addon compatible with Neo4j 4.3.1

The following logs may help you diagnose the issue:* Desktop logs

  1. The log shows this once:
