Unable to make my script handle errors until some

Question

I've written a script in vba to scrape the ip address populated upon making a proxied request. I've used proxy (out of list of proxies) within my vba script to test (probably none of them are working at this moment).

However, what I want to achieve is that when a requests is failed the following script will print that error message and keep going for the next requests otherwise it will parse the ip address from that site and keep going until the loops gets exhausted.

My attempt so far (consider the proxyList to be the working ones):

Sub ValidateProxies()
    Dim Http As New ServerXMLHTTP60, elem As Object, S$
    Dim proxyList As Variant, oProxy As Variant

    proxyList = [{"98.163.59.8:8080","134.209.115.223:3128","191.101.233.198:3129","198.177.126.218:80","35.185.201.225:8080"}]

    For Each oProxy In proxyList
        On Error Resume Next
        With Http
            .Open "GET", "https://www.myip.com/", False
            .setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0"
            .setProxy 2, oProxy
            .send
        End With
        On Error GoTo 0

        If Err.Number <> 0 Then
            Debug.Print "Encountered an error"

        Else:
            With New HTMLDocument
                .body.innerHTML = Http.responseText
                Set elem = .querySelector("#ip")
                R = R + 1: Cells(R, 1) = oProxy
                Cells(R, 2) = elem.innerText
            End With
        End If
    Next oProxy
End Sub

How can I make my script print any error when there is one and keep rolling until the loop ends?

Here is the example with async requests pool and logging statuses and errors to a worksheet. It uses a proxy list from free-proxy-list.net.

Option Explicit

Sub TestProxy()

    Const PoolCapacity = 50
    Const ReqTimeout = 15

    Dim sResp
    Dim aProxyList
    Dim oMatch
    Dim oWS
    Dim lIndex
    Dim ocPool
    Dim i
    Dim sResult
    Dim oReq

    ' Parsing proxy list from free-proxy-list.net
    With CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
        .Open "GET", "https://free-proxy-list.net/", True
        .SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64)"
        .Send
        Do Until .ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop
        sResp = .ResponseText
    End With
    With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
        .Global = True
        .Pattern = "<td[^>]*>(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)<\/td><td[^>]*>(\d+)<\/td>"
        aProxyList = Array()
        For Each oMatch In .Execute(sResp)
            ReDim Preserve aProxyList(UBound(aProxyList) + 1)
            aProxyList(UBound(aProxyList)) = oMatch.SubMatches(0) & ":" & oMatch.SubMatches(1)
        Next
    End With
    ' Proxy checking with api.myip.com requests

            sResult = ""

                    Case Else
                        sResult = .ResponseText

                    sResult = "Timeout"
            End Select
            On Error GoTo 0
            If sResult <> "" Then
                oWS.Cells(ocPool(i)(2), 2).Value = sResult
                ocPool.Remove i
            End If
            DoEvents
        Next
        ' Add new request to pool
        If ocPool.Count < PoolCapacity And lIndex <= UBound(aProxyList) Then
            Set oReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
            With oWS.Cells(lIndex + 1, 1)
                .Value = aProxyList(lIndex)
                .Select
            End With
            With oReq
                .Open "GET", "https://api.myip.com/", True
                .SetProxy 2, aProxyList(lIndex)
                .SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64)"
                .Send
            End With
            ocPool.Add Array( _
                oReq, _
                Now, _
                lIndex + 1 _
            )
            lIndex = lIndex + 1
            DoEvents
        End If
    Loop While ocPool.Count > 0
    MsgBox "Completed"

End Sub

This will print all errors encountered and you should tailor by err.Number

Option Explicit
Public Sub ValidateProxies()
    Dim http As New ServerXMLHTTP60, elem As Object, S$
    Dim proxyList As Variant, oProxy As Variant, r As Long
    Dim html As HTMLDocument
    Set html = New HTMLDocument
    proxyList = [{"98.163.59.8:8080","134.209.115.223:3128","191.101.233.198:3129","198.177.126.218:80","35.185.201.225:8080"}]

    For Each oProxy In proxyList
        On Error GoTo errhand:
        With http
            .Open "GET", "https://www.myip.com/", False
            .setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0"
            .SetProxy 2, oProxy
            .send
            With html
                .body.innerHTML = http.responseText
                Set elem = .querySelector("#ip")
                r = r + 1: ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1) = oProxy
                ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 2) = elem.innerText
            End With
        End With
    Next oProxy
    Exit Sub

errhand:
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        Debug.Print "Encountered an error " & Err.Description, oProxy
        Err.Clear
        Resume Next
    End If

End Sub
