Respect System proxy settings #5747

Role

I have a restricted network and I use socks5 proxy

Suggestion

I want MultiMC launcher to respect system proxy settings on windows

Benefit

So I don't need launch a VPN every time I need MultiMC to download any assets

This suggestion is unique

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

On my window machine I have setup socks5 proxy that most of the applications respect:

but sadly MultiMC launcher does not respect those settings. Every time I want to add an instance or, for example today, to update MultiMC to a new version I have to close the app, launch VPN and do whatever I need to do
