Notify user when proxy redirection takes place
Proxy redirection can be really useful, but also extremely confusing particularly since it is on by default. The problem is that some proxy servers are available only in particular networks. If you are working on a laptop and change the network often, this can result in broken redirects. Since the redirects are transparent to the user, it looks as if all article databases would be broken with no indication that Zotero is actually responsible for this.
My feature requests is: Show a small notification when proxy redirection takes place so that the user will know where to look if it does not work.

We could potentially add a preference to show the notice only for the first redirect, or we may be able to make the warning a little less intrusive, but it's probably not going to go away.
