selenium: [🐛 Bug]: Selenium Manager proxy management issue

What happened?

When trying to run scripts under vpn, Selenium manager requires proxy to be set for it to download the necessary drivers through capabilities. This, if I’m not wrongly concluding, is setting the proxy for the entire framework/session which fails my scripts since it needs to run without proxy.

Is there a way to avoid around this?

How can we reproduce the issue?

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setCapability("proxy", <proxy-url>);
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
chromeOptions.setBrowserVersion("113");

Relevant log output
