Description

SyncTrayzor 1.1.24

While setting all_proxy=socks5://host:port in Settings/Syncthing/Advanced/Environment variables works, it takes a lot of clicks (that's understandable) and there's no way to save that string if I want to temporarily disable proxy. Can this be moved to a separate setting (with checkbox to enable/disable)?

Research direction
Examine the SettingsWindow.xaml and Settings.cs files for existing proxy environment variable logic. The goal is to add a new boolean setting (e.g., 'EnableProxy') with a checkbox in the UI, and modify the startup sequence to apply the proxy only when enabled. No prior comments or PRs exist, so start by understanding the current settings structure and UI layout.
