ProxyError coming while using simple code

Question

I am trying to use request.get in python, but it is throwing error. I am using this very simple code:

import requests

x = requests.get('https://w3schools.com')
print(x.status_code)

However, this throws this error:

ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='w3schools.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000001ECB3E72040>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed')))

It looks like you may have a proxy enabled in your system, You should check your settings to get a better idea. — Salman Farsi, Oct 11 '22 at 17:54

There's nothing wrong with your code (prints 200 for me), but you may want to try to disable SSL verification:

x = requests.get('https://w3schools.com', verify=False)

Python is known for not trusting anything out there.
