Proxy error

[CyberTamilan]

I tried with some free proxy and getting this error. Can anyone tell me which proxy service provider I need to use

Hey Cyber, it looks like you're using a proxy service that uses HTTP protocol. Make sure you're using a proxy service that uses HTTPS protocol. This error is visible where it says: "Caused by ProxyError('Unable to connect to proxy. Your proxy appears to only use HTTP and not HTTPS, try changing your proxy URL to be HTTP". You can tell if your proxy service is using HTTPS protocol if it starts with "https" instead of "HTTP".
