I’m trying to install mysql connector using pip but it keeps showing me this error:connection broken by ‘ProxyError(‘Cannot connect to proxy.’, TimeoutError(‘timed out’))’: /simple/mysqlx-connector/

I think it could be a result of filtering in my region

    Solution 1: Check and Configure Proxy Settings
    If you’re behind a proxy or firewall, pip might need to know about your proxy settings.

    Step 1: Identify Your Proxy (if applicable)
    Check if you need to use a proxy. If you’re connected through a network that requires a proxy (such as a corporate network or a university), you’ll need the proxy server’s address.

    Step 2: Use Proxy Settings in pip
    Use the following command to install MySQL connector by explicitly providing your proxy details:
    pip install mysql-connector-python –proxy http://username:password@proxy_address:proxy_port

    Replace:

    .username:password with your proxy credentials.
    proxy_address:proxy_port with the actual proxy address and port.
    If your proxy doesn’t require authentication, you can skip the username:password part and use:
    pip install mysql-connector-python –proxy http://proxy_address:proxy_port
    Solution 2: Install Using a VPN
    If you suspect that the issue is due to filtering in your region, using a VPN can allow you to bypass regional restrictions.

    Step 1: Download a VPN
    Download a reliable VPN service (such as ProtonVPN or Windscribe) and connect to a location where the restriction might not apply.

    Step 2: Install MySQL Connector
    After connecting to the VPN, try installing MySQL connector again:
    pip install mysql-connector-python
    Solution 3: Use Offline Installation (if Network Issues Persist)
    If you cannot connect to the internet properly or bypass the proxy, you can download the MySQL connector package and install it offline.

    Step 1: Download MySQL Connector
    Go to the official Python package index (PyPI) and download the .whl file for MySQL connector that corresponds to your Python version.

    Step 2: Install the .whl File
    Once downloaded, use the following command to install the package offline:
    pip install /path/to/mysql_connector_file.whl
    Replace /path/to/mysql_connector_file.whl with the actual path of the downloaded .whl file.

    olution 4: Upgrade pip and Retry Installation
    Sometimes the problem may arise due to an outdated version of pip.

    Step 1: Upgrade pip
    Try upgrading pip to the latest version:
    pip install –upgrade pip

    Solution 5: Disable SSL Verification (Last Resort)
    If none of the above solutions work, and you suspect the problem is due to SSL verification issues, you can disable SSL verification when using pip. However, use this only as a last resort as it lowers security.

    Step 1: Disable SSL in pip
    pip install mysql-connector-python –trusted-host pypi.org –trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org
    Recap of Steps:
    Check proxy settings and provide them to pip (if behind a proxy).
    Use a VPN to bypass regional restrictions.
    Download and install the MySQL connector offline.
    Upgrade pip to the latest version.
    Disable SSL verification as a last resort.
    Run the following command to bypass SSL verification:
