SSL + NordVPN Proxy

[kkm]

proxy.py:

import httpx
proxy = httpx.Proxy(f"https://user:password@al30.nordvpn.com:89")
proxies = {
    "http://": proxy,
    "https://": proxy,
}
client = httpx.Client(proxies=proxies)
response = client.get("https://www.example.com")
print(response.text)
client.close()

output from the error:

$python proxy.py

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I am not sure if I am wrong with my code or SSL bug?
