I wouldn’t trust the GoDaddy FAQ.

It’s horribly outdated.

I am switching to a VPS from a provider that I’ve known to be reliable, from GoDaddy.

Searching the GoDaddy FAQ/Help pages, it appears that as of September 10, 2008. GoDaddy is not longer requiring proxy connections to connect with CURL.

Proxy servers are not required for
outbound shared hosting connections as
of September 10, 2008. Although it
will continue to function after this
date, we recommend code utilizing
proxy servers be updated to reflect
this change.

Yea Godaddy has some strange settings like this. Plus it seems to be hit or miss when dealing with their support. :(
