Fix PHP CURL Connection Timeout

I'm experiencing a connection timeout issue with a PHP CURL request to https://proclubs.ea.com/api/fc. I've already tried increasing the CURL timeout settings, but that didn't resolve the issue. I'm unsure about any proxy settings that might be affecting the request.
