Description
If a proxy is being used by hydrus, it will pass through ALL reuqests through that proxy.
This makes it difficult to use multiple services that are hosted on local network.
Say, a IPFS deamon is running on local netwrok and you address it via DNS, with proxy enabled, hydrus will not be able to connect ot the IPFS node.
Same goes for other services on local network.
Solution:
Have a text field in options > connections with a list of comma separated entries, that will be excluded from proxying.

Research direction
Start by locating the Options > Connections UI and the code path hydrus uses for proxying requests. Check how local-network destinations are represented and verify the comma-separated exclusion list against requests to those services; done means excluded destinations bypass the proxy while other requests continue using it.
