Hi. @Chirag200207

There are a lot of problems with proxies. I can't answer exactly what the problem is.

Try requesting other sites via https protocol (eg: https://google.com, https://reddit.com/). If you get the same error on them, then the problem is in a particular proxy. If not, you need more information.

PS. I will close issues for now, re-open if you have more questions
