ODBC Connector Issues

I am trying to use power BI's ODBC connector to connect to my company's Splunk instance but no matter what I try I keep getting this error:

"ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Splunk][SplunkODBC] (40) Error with HTTP API, error code: Couldn't resolve proxy name
ERROR [HY000] [Splunk][SplunkODBC] (40) Error with HTTP API, error code: Couldn't resolve proxy name"

My coworker was able to access it using the same url and port so I know it isn't the URL but I have edited privacy settings on my local machine, within the ODBC Manager and my Power BI instance but I still can't get it to work. Has anyone experienced this or anything like this before and can provide some help?
