Looks like it is indeed a proxy issue. When I do this on a

I would love to hear if you know of a workaround, but I’m guessing
not.
In gretl, go to /Tools/Preferences/General and select the Network
tab. There you can enter the name of your http proxy and check the
"Use HTTP proxy" box. Hopefully this should solve the problem.
