Setting up a Proxy on Sublime

I am trying to set up a proxy on sublime to download packages. I have tried following the steps in the question sublime text 3 package control install

However, I am not clear on where this should be done. Here are my steps

  1. Open Sublime
  2. Click on Preferences -> Package Settings -> Package Control
  3. Two windows open up with the same file name Package Control.sublime-settings
  4. I am not able to edit the window on the left. I can edit the window on the right
  5. I post in the following into the window on the right with actual proxies
{
    "bootstrapped": true,
    /*"in_process_packages":
    [
    ],*/
    "installed_packages":
    [
        "Package Control"
    ],
},

{
    // An HTTP proxy server to use for requests. Not normally used on Windows
    // since the system proxy configuration is utilized via WinINet. However,
    // if WinINet is not working properly, this will be used by the Urllib
    // downloader, which acts as a fallback.
    "http_proxy": "",

    // An HTTPS proxy server to use for requests - this will inherit from
    // http_proxy if it is set to "" or null and http_proxy has a value. You
    // can set this to false to prevent inheriting from http_proxy. Not
    // normally used on Windows since the system proxy configuration is
    // utilized via WinINet. However, if WinINet is not working properly, this
    // will be used by the Urllib downloader, which acts as a fallback.
    "https_proxy": "",

    // Username and password for both http_proxy and https_proxy. May be used
    // with WinINet to set credentials for system-level proxy config.
    "proxy_username": "",
    "proxy_password": "",
}

When i restart sublime I get the following error and all the updates automatically are commented out

Unexpected trailing characters...

I am a complete newbie to this but any help would be really appreciated

Thanks

The settings file needs to be valid JSON. That means, among other things, that everything needs to be part of one big array, defined by curly braces {}. Delete lines 10-12:

},

{

and it will be valid.
