Research direction
Reproduce the failure with local DNS resolving the proxy destination to IPv6 while the proxy supports only IPv4. Trace the DNS-resolution and connection path to determine whether an IPv4 selection option is possible, and consider the issue complete when the configured connection succeeds through an IPv4 proxy address.
