proxy setup

[miocho]

please enable configuring a SOCKS proxy so nheko's connections can be proxied through Tor using a local Tor daemon.

One extra requirement is that this setting should be available right from start (register/login screen) or via config file/CLI.

[Houkime]

Unfortunately right now nheko can't be successfully torified even with torsocks which is a shame (seems like torsocks can't resolve addresses used in nheko for some reason)

[Houkime]

I've managed to have a settings button at the start (although sacrificed malfunctioning Olm in show handler) at my fork here
https://github.com/Houkime/nheko/tree/settings-at-start
But proxying stuff is not there to set. Need to do a research on how to do it ok and also if there is a client that already does it for matrix (and maybe i don't even need to bother with nheko). (Riot doesn't)

Hi,

Riot is torificable using the Electron feature --proxy-server:

./riot-web --proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9150

I also tried proxychains4 or environment variable (https_proxy) without success. This blocks the usage of Nheko within my corporate environment.
