The proxy server settings can be configured using the Proxy page
of the Settings dialog. The options are HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5.
Note: SOCKS5 authentication or encryption functionality is not
supported.
Connecting through a proxy requires that the Connect through
proxy option on the Connection page has been selected.
For more information, see Section Defining Connection Settings.

Proxy Server
Enter the proxy server address. The format of the address for a SOCKS proxy is:
In this case, the host socks.ssh.com and port 1080
(default) are used as your SOCKS server for connections outside of
networks 203.123.0.0 (16-bit domain) and 198.74.23.0
(8-bit domain). Those networks are connected directly.
If this option is used, it should almost always contain the local
loopback network (127.0.0.0/8) as a network that is connected directly.
SOCKS Version
If a SOCKS proxy is used, select its type. Available options are SOCKS4
and SOCKS5. This setting has no effect with an HTTP proxy.
