SOCKS5 Proxy

Is there any way to add support for "SOCKS5 Proxy", this is what is offered to me via IPVanish.com


Thank you in advance,

In Preferences -> General there's a spot to put in a proxy server.

In my limited experience, SOCKS5 supports (requires?) authentication, making it incompatible w/ MakeMKV's current proxy implementation, as I see no means of passing credentials. However, that may well be deemed overkill.
