What issue are you seeing?
We use codex on highly restricted network which only some specific domains are allowed and there is no access to other ip or domains.
I'm using codex with a custom openai base_url which is allowed in our network. but in new version of codex I get this error:
codex
Error loading configuration: timed out waiting for cloud requirements after 15s
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Use codex on a highly restricted network which almost everything blocked using iptables!
What is the expected behavior?
I should be able to start codex and use it using a custom base url
Additional information
It seems that If I turn off my network, I can start codex and then everything works well.
