### Describe the bug

I need a proxy to get access to YouTube. It's working as long as I'm in the session - close FreeTube and launch it again, the settings are ignored even though they are still set.

1. Click on settings
2. Select proxy settings ➡️ HTTPS ➡️ 192.168.178.55, Port 80 ➡️ click to check proxy ➡️ see that everythings fine and you'll see the IP you'll get via proxy.
3. Close FreeTube and launch it again
4. Click on settings ➡️ proxy settings ➡️ check proxy again ➡️ see the error message of misconfiguration
5. Workaround: Switch from HTTPS to HTTP and back again ➡️ everything is fine again.

### Expected Behavior

Usage of the proxy at launch
