Proxy bypassed on linux

Hello,

I am trying to create a websocket client to connect to a server through
a proxy.
Everything works fine if the proxy is a valid one but whenever I use a
fake proxy ( random ip / port ), instead of failing it still connects to
the server.

Did anyone encounter this issue and maybe knows a fix ?

p.s. I've tested this on two linux machines and on a windows machine. On
the windows machine it behaves as it should.
