Hey Dinesh, If you're behind a corporate firewall then proxy will not help you as you will still be unable to establish an http connection with the proxy from behind the firewall (which is blocking your outside access). Also, since you're trying to connect to a database, a proxy will not help you because it's an http proxy, not a tcp proxy and (most) database connections don't (typically) use http.
The solution is to adjust the corporate firewall to allow your server access to the internet, in general, or at least to the cloud based database port, if nothing else. In short, this is a dev ops or IT issue and needs to be resolved by whomever handles managing the firewall for your corporation.
