Karate DSL: Getting connection timeout error - karate

Question

I am working on automating a API which is hosted in China server and when I send a request it throws me timeout exception ( org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException).
My feature file:
Background:
* url 'http://myurl'
* configure connectTimeout = 500000
Scenario: Get Client details
Given path '/clients'
And header Authorization = 'sdssSSLwWDSD'
When method get
Then match response.client_id == 'TestId'

What I have tried yet:
I tried to configure timeout to max as below:
* configure connectTimeout = 500000
It didn't work.
However, the same request when tried from Postman, works fine and I get response within 2000 ms.
Not sure where I am wrong.

Most likely you have a corporate HTTP proxy.
Refer: https://github.com/intuit/karate#configure
* configure proxy = 'http://my.proxy.host:8080'
