Could you link to the documentation? This would help add some context to your answer :) – Ari Cooper-Davis Jul 22 '21 at 10:36

You can also use web3-proxy-providers, which is a python package for connecting to HTTP and WebSocket Json-RPC using Socks and HTTP proxies

run

pip install web3-proxy-providers

code

from web3 import Web3
from web3_proxy_providers import HttpWithProxyProvider

provider = HttpWithProxyProvider(
    endpoint_uri='https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/<YourAlchemyKey>',
    proxy_url='socks5h://localhost:1080'
)
web3 = Web3(
    provider=provider,
)
print(web3.eth.block_number)
