This PR adds ability to connect to localtunnel server via socks proxy (using Tor for example) thus adding ability to hide real IP address of the client from the server. This is especially useful for people running their own localtunnel server instances because it allows their users to protect against revealing their real IP (and deanonymize them) by a malicious actor. Therefore it makes this service more trustless.

I've tested this locally using default localtunnel server.

HI, any updates on this? I've been trying to do something similar. I see the ci build failed but you claim you have tested it locally? Thanks.
