Description

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

![https://i.gyazo.com/0064c424bccf615bc88b8e773538e420.png](https://i.gyazo.com/0064c424bccf615bc88b8e773538e420.png)

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.
