Running 3.0.0-rc1.

Steps to reproduce

The rules for block and redirect are parsed and enforced correctly. Proxy is unrecognized.

I should get a filled out types.Interruption with Action: proxy and Data: url;

Actual result

The above error.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find where seclang directives are parsed and actions validated (likely in the rule engine). Look for a map or switch that handles actions like 'block' and 'redirect', and add support for the 'proxy' action with its expected behavior (sets Interruption with Action: proxy and Data: url).
