Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.6.0-20210122182953+f50a180af7

Proxy settings are not verified and (it looks like) they are applied on app restart.

Wrong proxy settings cause the app be offline - on login screen there is a message "You are offline."
There is no way to access the settings menu from the GUI without being logged in.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the problem in Keybase GUI 5.6.0 with invalid proxy settings, then trace how settings are applied on app restart and how the login screen reaches the settings menu. Done should prevent invalid settings from leaving the app inaccessible, with the behavior verified through an appropriate regression test.
