Using an HTTP proxy that is already configured

[ankkk]

Is it possible to use a proxy setting located mainly within the editor (Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy) to make requests to OpenAI?

I have never used IntelliJ's built in HTTP Proxy, but as far as I understand, it should work. Based on the docs, it redirects all http traffic through that proxy, so I would assume it does the same for Open AI requests.

right now, it's not working. But if I turn on my VPN on my computer, then everything starts working again.

Can you make an API request to OpenAI with curl when your VPN is off? I do not understand what are you trying to achieve exactly.
