title: Pip Install - error message when installing packages Python 2.7 Anaconda / Windows 10
body: <p>until recently, I had no problems installing packages using</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install package_name 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>through command prompt.  However, recently, I started receiving the following error message for 99% of packages I attempt to install (note: if the package is already installed, i do get "requirement already satisfied error").</p>
  
  <pre><code>          Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) 
      after connection broken by 'ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', 
          NewConnectionError('&lt;pip._vendor.requests.packages.urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection 
  object at 0x00000000041D2A90&gt;: Failed to establish a new connection:
   [Errno 10061]  No connection could be made because the target machine 
  actively refused it',))': /simple/pattern/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea on whats going on here, and how I can go about fixing it?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
