Meshagent over http proxy in linux

[dammaer]

Hello! Thank you for meshcentral. This is a super convenient device management tool.

I have a problem connecting an agent on a remote machine to a meshcentral server via http proxy. Debian 12 is installed on the machine. There are no problems with a direct connection and the agent successfully connects to the server. If I transfer this computer behind a proxy server, the agent does not connect.
On the agent side, I edit the meshagent.msh file and add the WebProxy=http://10.0.68.52:3128/ option. I tried different options with and without http://. With and without quotes. The agent still does not connect to the server.

I tried removing the WebProxy option and passing environment variables to meshagent.service:

[Service]
Environment="http_proxy=http://10.0.68.52:3128/"
Environment="https_proxy=http://10.0.68.52:3128/"
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://10.0.68.52:3128/"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://10.0.68.52:3128/"

This didn't give me any results.

Here is the agent log:

Tell me how to still force the agent to use a proxy server?

Thank you for trying to help!
I created a meshagent.proxy file and specified the proxy address 10.0.68.52:3128 in it. Restarted the agent. But the agent still doesn't connect. Other utilities such as wget, curl, apt work properly through this proxy. In Windows there is no such problem with the agent. I check the auto proxy box and the agent connects properly. The problem is only in Linux.
