CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT is not working

i am learning about CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, i am using a proxy in this test with 25 seconds timeout setting, but it never timed out, i dont know why. here is my simple code

$proxy="124.206.54.251:3128";
$timeout = 25;
$url = "http://google.com";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true); 
$headerSent = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT ); 
$returned_msg = curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
$info= curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo "<br>".$returned_msg."<br>".$info['total_time']."<br>".$error;

can someone plz tell why it never timed out? i only want to wait 25 second and it is unable to for any reason such as proxy is dead, then it should timed out.

CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT only sets the timeout for the amount of time it takes to connect. If you want to limit the amount of time the entire request is allowed to take, use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT instead.
