Research direction
The issue requests adding SOCKS5 proxy support for privacy. The repository is deprecated (indicated in description). Research existing network configuration in Ledger Live Desktop, perhaps in files like 'src/main/index.js' or network modules. Consider using a library like 'socksv5' to handle proxy connections. Note the repository status before proceeding; the issue may not be actively maintained.
