Answer 1

You should remove the embedded username and password from proxyDict, and use the auth parameter instead.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPProxyAuth

proxyDict = { 
          'http'  : '77.75.105.165', 
          'https' : '77.75.105.165'
        }
auth = HTTPProxyAuth('username', 'mypassword')

r = requests.get("http://www.google.com", proxies=proxyDict, auth=auth)
