Description

Hi,

I am behind a corporate proxy which has to be used for DNS resolves as well as connecting.
I'm getting

- ERROR API network error: Get https://api.keybase.io/_/api/1.0/user/lookup.json?fields=basics%2Cpublic_keys%2Cpictures&multi=1&username=<snip>: dial tcp: lookup api.keybase.io: getaddrinfow: No such host is known. (error 1601)

When I try to login. Directly after entering the username. I have set the proxy in config.json after reading #4071 , didn't help.

Research direction

Start by reading the proxy configuration guidance in #4071 and reproducing the login failure immediately after entering a username. Trace how config.json affects DNS resolution and the API connection, then verify that user lookup and login work when both use the corporate proxy.
