The punycode module is being used indirectly through the dependency chain of connect-mongo. Here is the relevant portion of the dependency tree:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install connect-mongo in an Express project.
2. Run the project and observe the deprecation warning in the console.

Expected Behavior

Suggested Solution

Investigate the possibility of updating the dependencies or using alternative packages that do not rely on the deprecated punycode module.
