ccxt.base.errors.RequestTimeout

[Reeshark]

I'm sure my proxy is able to access the "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/exchangeInfo". Both "curl -x 127.0.0.1:7777 https://api.binance.com/api/v3/exchangeInfocurl" and enter the url directly on browse are work.

But when I execute "freqtrade backtesting -c user_data\config2.json --strategy Strategy001'":

How can I revise my config to solve this issue?

there's no sign of a proxy being used in the logs - yet you mention a proxy being used (which doesn't seem to be configured).
it seems like the system your bot is running on is not able to connect to binance (or has no internet at all, that's not immediately clear).

If you expect the bot to use a proxy - please refer to the documentation on how to configure one.
