Dear all,

This is the continue of [Problem reaching OpenAI - #4 by wey](https://forum.cursor.com/t/problem-reaching-openai/931/4), I recently switched network env(from home to office), where I had to explicit configure internet access behind a http/socks proxy, I noticed vscode out of box supports http/https proxies, thus I was configuring the proxy like this:

```json
{
    "http.proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:1087",
    "http.proxySupport": "on",
    "http.proxyStrictSSL": false,
    "http.proxyAuthorization": null,
}

```

Or start cursor with http\_proxy env variable like:

```bash
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087;export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1087

cursor .

```

While I’m still suffering from unable to reach OpenAI(Pro Tier).

Could anyone in the community/team suggest on how I could possibly mitigate this or there are issues on Cursor AI traffic honoring proxies?

Many thanks!

PS. Cursor is the best AI pair coding offering 👍.

Update: this should be some kind of corruption on configuration level, after cleaning up cursor and fresh install, everything is fine now.
