Difficulty Connecting to Mining Pool, Request for Proxy Option

[yeahwong]

I'm having trouble connecting directly to the mining pool due to network issues. I kindly request the addition of a proxy option to improve connection stability and security.

Please consider adding proxy support to enhance reliability and security when connecting to the mining pool or other services. This would greatly benefit miners form restricted network areas.

Likely the same root cause here: in checkPoolConnection(), WiFi.hostByName() writes 0.0.0.0 into serverIP on failure and the return value is ignored, so a single failed resolution at boot leaves the miner connecting to 0.0.0.0 forever (WiFi connected, but the pool never sees the worker) until a lucky reboot. Opened #801 to check the result and retry instead of caching the bad IP.
