Description
Is it some kind of bug that when I turn on SOCKS in the Proxyman and when I run Proxy man and verify the Network setup in the macOS settings, SOCKS are disabled (do I have to enable it each time manually to truly make it work?)

Reproduce the issue by turning on SOCKS in Proxyman, then inspect the macOS Network settings to confirm whether SOCKS is enabled. Compare this behavior with the Charles workflow shown in the issue. Done means enabling SOCKS in Proxyman also enables the corresponding macOS setting without manual intervention.
