Behind a proxy: Flask SQLAlchemy connect to Postgres

I have a postgres instance running on a remote (AWS).

I am on a corporate network using a proxy. I can use the tsocks package to connect to the postgres instance through a SOCKS5 proxy.

Is there anyway for me to force FlaskSql to do the interactions through the proxy?

I have tried setting the proxy on the requests module and can get that to work.
I have tried some things with the PySocks module, e.g this without any good results. Can you set which socket SQLAlchemy uses?
I have set http_proxy and https_proxy as well, but it is not enough for tcp connections.

Did you try to setup the `http_proxy` environment variable? – Szymon P. Apr 18 '18 at 11:27

@SzymonP. Yes, I have tried setting `http_proxy` as well as https. But postgres interacts over tcp, so it needs other proxy settings. – davidwessman Apr 18 '18 at 12:37
