Had this exact issue last month!
Turns out, my antivirus was overriding proxy settings. Disabled its "web protection" feature, and http error 407 vanished.
Also, if you’re scripting, Python’s `requests` library lets you pass proxies like this:
```python
proxies = {"http": "http://user:pass@proxy:port"}
requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
```
Life saver.
