Hi,

We have been running into an issue where we need to run the PubSubSourceConnector behind a company Proxy to pull messages from our GCP PubSub topics into our on premise Kafka. We have tried setting the JVM parameters in order to set the proxy settings, e.g.  
“-Dhttp.proxyHost= -Dhttp.proxyPort= -Dhttps.proxyHost= -Dhttps.proxyPort= -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=”

However it seems that the nonProxyHosts jvm parameter is not being honored by the connector, as a result it tries to use the proxy for all hosts including our on prem license server etc.

Is this a bug similar to the snowflake kafka connector one fixed here? Where they were not passing the nonProxyHosts through to the underlying connection properties? [Snowflake Community](https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/nonProxyHosts-parameter-is-not-honored-with-JDBC-driver)

Or are we doing something wrong and nonProxyHosts is working for this connector.

Thanks

Nick
