What did you do that produced an error?

Added a module that uses a proxy with skip_resolve_phase_with_proxy: true

What did you expect to see?

Successful probe

What did you see instead?

Failed probe

Detailed:

1. I verified that the proxy works fine using network-multitool;
2. I have configured a blackbox with a module that uses proxy and name resolving via 8.8.8.8;
3. I ran a series of tests with different configurations;
4. I used Wireshark+ksniff and Irealized that blackbox went to 127.0.0.1.
