    Great - so it's a connection timeout. On the assumption that this is what you also see when you explicitly don't use the proxy then the conclusion would be that you are still not using the proxy to access this URL, albeit accidentally.

    The suspicion must be that this line

    $ua->proxy(['https'], $proxy);

    should not have 'https' as the first argument since you are not trying to access an https URL. Why have you chosen 'https' here?
