Description
Given that Annas archive is blocked by most large ISPs in the UK by court requirement, it would be great if the provider containers allowed a proxy to be set via a variable so they can use proxies stood up by many VPN containers already.
Use Case
As a user I want to allow the current and future provider containers to use a proxy via an optional variable allowing their easier use in certain jurisdictions that the ISPs block direct connection via capture of both DNS and routes.
Proposed Solution
Provider containers that can use a proxy via an optional variable meaning easier integration into existing VPN infrastructure for torrent and news grabbers etc.
I expect that the current URL grabber library already understands proxy variables so little additional code complexity would be required.
Alternatives Considered
I currently use container network sharing with gluetunvpn, port in that container and adjust the url for the provider when adding, but this is complex and outside the documentation expected for this type of App so many users will not get the full functionality of pullbox easily.
Apologies if this works already, but a search for proxy on the main readme here shows reverse proxy only variables and the pullbox-direct-providers only talks about payload proxies not simple outbound proxies.
Opened this issue here as the providers repo doesn't even have the more complex issue creation abilities.
