The proxy server may be a hostname or IP address, optionally followed by a colon and port number, or it may be an `http`, `https`, `socks4`, `socks4a`, or `socks5` URL. The URL cannot include any text after the hostname, IP, or port. If a scheme isn't specified, `http` is assumed.
The URL may optionally include a username and password for proxy authentication, but the password is ignored when using `socks4` or `socks4a` as the protocols have no support for password authentication.

* **`http`**: `http://[username:password@]hostname[:port]`
* **`https`**: `https://[username:password@]hostname[:port]`
* **`socks4`**: `socks4://[username@]hostname[:port]`
* **`socks4a`**: `socks4a://[username@]hostname[:port]`
* **`socks5`**: `socks5://[username:password@]hostname[:port]`
