About Setting Proxy

[SYFH]

Configuration file how to set the proxy?

[mikf]

There is currently no actual config or command-line option to specify a proxy server, but you can set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables and the underlying Requests library will use these.
For example:

# on unix-like systems
export HTTP_PROXY="http://10.10.1.10:3128"
# on windows
set http_proxy="http://10.10.1.10:3128"

Explicit proxy configuration done.
You can now set the proxy option in your config files (general or per-extractor) or just use the --proxy command-line argument.

For the config option you can either use a single string ("http://10.10.1.10:3128") or specify a different proxy URL per URI scheme:

{
    "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
    "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080"
}
