Vaiheet
As a workaround: create a TDC file and add a proxy setting to it. 

The steps are as follows:

1. Close Tableau Desktop, create a text file with the following contents and rename the file to "snowflake.tdc". (The part in bold needs to be changed).
Note 1: The "version" is the version of the Snowflake driver installed on your device.
Note 2: The "value" is the proxy setting you need to add.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<connection-customization class='snowflake' enabled='true' version='2.22.5'>
<vendor name='snowflake' />
<driver name='snowflake' />
<customizations>
<customization name='odbc-connect-string-extras' value='proxy=http://proxy.cat.com:80'/>
</customizations>
</connection-customization> 
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

2. Move "snowflake.tdc" to "C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\My Tableau Repository\Data Source"

3.  Open Tableau Desktop and connect to Snowflake (you do not need to enter proxy information in the Advanced tab).

Please note that the TDC file will affect all connections to the database (in this case, all the connections to Snowflake will be affected).
