Cannot find solution
Provide a clear description of the bug
First, I am doing remote server development behind corporate firewall. Usually I log into Cursor through my corporate Macbook and ssh into the linux server. Up to Wednesday, after setting the proxy and disable http2 request, I am able to do development using agent mode.
However, on Wednesday afternoon, the index stop working, and cannot be fixed by any means. The codebase indexing consistent stuck at setting up indexing and handshake failure.
Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)
It stops working itself.
Attach screenshots or recordings (e.g., .jpg, .png, .mp4).
Here is the log"

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
It seems the problem happen from the second address. The first one has correct Certificate but not the second one.

It’s been almost a week, my last post about the issue has no response. If the problem doesn’t get fixed I will probably go back to copilot
