Add support for HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies (#127)
As mentioned in https://github.com/davegallant/vpngate/issues/126, adding support for proxies will help bypass issues when vpngate.net is not accessible directly. This works by: ```sh # http proxy sudo vpngate connect --proxy "http://localhost:8080" # socks5 proxy sudo vpngate connect --socks5 "127.0.0.1:1080" ```
