(199) Can you add proxy support?

In fact, (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS) proxy support was removed because it is not possible to let an app proxy DNS requests, or in other words, an in-app proxy will always leak host names and therefore give a false sense of security.

If you want to proxy traffic, for example to use Tor, you should use an Android VPN-service based app, which is the only way to reliably proxy traffic.
