Description

Many package managers and other apps have proxy configuration support.

This is especially useful for guarding package managers against MITM when paired with tor.

See how Kicksecure/Whonix and Qubes updates work for example.

I would love to see SOCKS5 proxy or native Orbot support in Obtainium!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how network requests are made in Obtainium; look for any existing proxy configuration. Then design and implement a SOCKS5 proxy setting in the app's preferences and apply it to HTTP clients.
