Try a different proxy, because it works normally outside China.

Try a different proxy, because it works normally outside China.

It seems not that easy to resolve this problem, my proxy server is in local computer （is my clash application to go out of China, and the proxy port is mixed mode), I can make sure is work properly, unless the format of my proxy address fill in is wrong, the problem should be resolved, but it not, an interesting thing is the newest release of wakatime-cli in GitHub do not have windows version, I think it maybe the plugin download the newest release of wakatime-cli for Windows, but no file is provided.

[Liu-Zhiying]

And the zip file in my computer is 0KB.

an interesting thing is the newest release of wakatime-cli in GitHub do not have windows version

It's just hidden, you need to click Show all 23 assets link at the bottom of that release.

I think I see your problem: remove @ from your proxy setting
