Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Android settings entry point and the code that sends Simplenote traffic, then determine how SOCKS5 and HTTPS proxy configuration should be represented. Done means proxy options are available in settings and all relevant traffic uses them without data loss.
