That means that you are trying to use a version of SSL that is not supported by the proxy. What SSL version are you trying to use?

okay, looks like i was supposed to connect to http://proxy.server:3128

in the documentation it just said "connect through proxy.server:3128" so i guess we were not supposed to use https

I think this might be a bug in urllib3. All free accounts use a proxy. You could try telling requests about eg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65516325/ssl-wrong-version-number-on-python-request.
