Description

Unable to start login process after typing in username, network is behind a HTTP proxy and most other ports are controlled.

There's no option to enter either a SOCKS or HTTP proxy into the software from the GUI which would help with this.

Start with the GUI login flow and the network connection used after entering a username. Determine how HTTP and SOCKS proxy settings could be exposed in the GUI and applied to that flow; done means login can start successfully behind the reported proxy restrictions.
