API authentication issues

[Mazawrath]

Hi all,
I've been getting hardcore rate limited on my current IP address using PythonAnywhere, so I want to try out a proxy. When passing the proxy over to PyChatGPT I've been getting this error:
tls_client.exceptions.TLSClientExeption: failed to do request: Get "https://chat.openai.com/auth/login": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.
What would be the way around this?

I got past that by specifying the same proxy for both http and https, but now getting stuck at sending requests to OpenAI
Error when calling OpenAI API: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='chat.openai.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /backend-api/conversation (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)')))

I'm generally inexperienced with proxies and certificates so any help would be appreciated.

@Mazawrath Hi, this is because the certificate cannot verified using your proxy, normally you turn off verify=False, but currently Tls-Client does not support it directly. Although I have created a fork of it and I have lots of updates to push. In the meantime try a VPN?

With this new Cloudflare protection I assume the login now needs to be on the same IP address as the ask() requests are made on.
I was thinking that there could be a feature where you login with your regular IP to get around the certificate issue, and then you can pass the certificate and proxy to Requests so that doesn't error out, but that's not doable now, is it?
