Description
Currently we use a socks proxy to make remote connections to our servers and it works great. We do however run into hangs when certain local java processes are running, for example intellij. When its running it seems to hang on "computing descriptions" when we have the proxy settings on. If we switch back to using the system proxy settings the local process load up fine, however our remote connections won't work since we're relying on the socks proxy for that.
Please let me know if you need any more information, or if you have any suggestions for how we might be able to make VisualVM work nicely with both local processes and remote (via SOCKS).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang with SOCKS proxy settings enabled while IntelliJ or another local Java process is running, then trace the proxy handling and the “computing descriptions” path. Done means local processes load without hanging while remote connections continue to work through the SOCKS proxy.
