Describe the bug

When adding a proxy it gives an error:

 ERROR    | __main__:task:532 - Failed to connect to websocket, trying again in 30 seconds...

I then checked in to code, and added in some code to tell me the exception which was:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.reddit.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /login (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')))

Here is the config I used for the proxy:

"proxies": ["165.22.88.91:1080"],

To Reproduce

Steps to trigger the bug:

1. Add proxy to config
2. Run program
3. See error

Expected behavior

Connecting and using the proxy
