Pip can't install any package

Question

Hello approximately about 2 weeks ago I started not being able to download python packages or even access the pypi website which is \"unreachable\" on chrome and firefox.

So for anybody searching for a solution, I found this which might not be optimal but at least it works, instead of pip install package use this command

python.exe -m pip install package --proxy="proxy:port"

You can find a big list of free proxies here : https://free-proxy-list.net/ (note that not all of them work and you might wanna try multiple before getting one that works)

So for example you could use : python.exe -m pip install numpy --proxy="179.185.199.195:8080"

And that works, Shraneid
