[Feature request] Behind a proxy
Blender and OS versions
Blender 2.83 Windows 10
Describe the bug
When trying to import base maps or any of the information where the addon needs to contact a website/online database. It gets blocked because of the proxy i'm behind. I presume i'm not the only one and maybe it could be a Blender issue instead of an issue with the addon. Then i'm sorry for this request.
It would be nice to be able to add a proxy-server-url in the settings of the addon for example. That way it might be possible to rout the internet-traffic through the right proxy.
I saw that it might be possible in python via 'import request' and then you can list certain proxy servers and so on (source: https://blog.scrapinghub.com/python-requests-proxy)
I'm not a programmer, i just dabble around in python scripts from time to time but if you could point me in the direction of the right part of the code, i can try to build something myself. It would take some time and would probably be not the best of coding-examples...
I'm willing to try testversions if you want/need that.
How to Reproduce
Be behind a proxy and try to use the addon to download basemaps.

(https://docs.python.org/3.5/howto/urllib2.html#proxies) Urllib will automatically detect proxies set up in the environment - so one can just set the HTTP_PROXY variable either in your environment e.g. for Bash: export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy_url:proxy_port or just set it using windows UI.
