Request to add http socks proxy as built-in feature

Use case or problem

When using Obsidian behind a firewall or in certain countries (where github is hard to access), it is impossible to browse or install plugins and themes.

I found out that I can add an startup argument like

--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

to the obsidian executable file to enable proxy.

But it is not so friendly to new users especially non-engineer users.

Proposed solution

So, can dev team consider to expose this in obsidian settings page ?

Current workaround (optional)

Manually add an argument to obsidian.exe:

--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
