Description
There's no way to make a proxy applied on the entire system using the new network GUI.
for example, I can't run apt commands when connected to a network that explicitly requires a proxy to connect to the internet.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the new network GUI's proxy settings and reviewing how it applies network configuration. Confirm the expected behavior with apt commands on a proxy-required network, and consider the work complete when the configured proxy applies system-wide.
