no tesnet seeds / testnet connection issues via proxy #3075

I'm currently unable to connect to any node via proxy it seems... below is a part of my debug.log.

I always connect through proxy and it works fine for me. Are you trying to use Tor? If so: there are only very few testnet nodes available on Tor.

Seems this were some temporary testnet network issues then, not a problem anymore. Closing this!
