Description
When attempting to use the Keybase app at work, it permanently cannot connect.

I suspect this is due to the corporate proxies in place at work and Keybase is unable to make it through our transparent proxy, which is only for http/s.
Therefore, I'm **requesting the option to configure a socks5 proxy** from within the app to enable use for likely many corporate users.
