I've tried more than one proxy but they have yet to work.
What does 'they have yet to work' mean?
I guess it means that they doesn't work yet.
Is it a kind of idom? or what?
Yes, the construction [subject] + [have] + [yet] + [to] + [verb] means that it hasn't happened yet, and it is a kind of idiom. Here's another example:
'I have sent a letter of application, but I have yet to receive a reply.'
