Description

Compared to the Client object from paho.mqtt.client , the TBDeviceMqttClient object does not support the function proxy_set to set a proxy server.

Workaround is:
tb_client = TBDeviceMqttClient(...)
tb_client._client.proxy_set(proxy_type=socks.HTTP, proxy_addr="...", proxy_port=...)

Could you please provide this feature in the right way.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by inspecting the TBDeviceMqttClient implementation and how its underlying _client is configured. Compare that setup with paho.mqtt.client.proxy_set and the reported workaround; done means the public client supports configuring an HTTP proxy without reaching into _client, with coverage for the supported proxy settings.
