Connection to local electrum server tries to use SOCKS Proxy even when Tor is disabled

[windsok]

Describe the bug I have an electrs electrum server running on my local network on the same subnet (192.168.1.X).

When I attempt to connect to this electrum server with specter-desktop 2.0.1 it appears to try to use a SOCKS proxy on 127.0.0.1:9050 even though Tor is disabled in the settings.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start specter-desktop
2. Check that Tor is disabled in the Tor settings
3. Add a new electrum connection to a electrum server running on a local private network (eg 192.168.1.X)
4. Observe that the connection fails, and the error logs indicate that it is attempting to connect via a SOCKS proxy on 127.0.0.1:9050

Expected behavior Specter connects directly to the Electrum server and does not try to use the SOCKS proxy

I have a local electrs server and was unable to connect to it. I think the issue in my case is that SOCKS should not be used for local connections (ex. 127.0.0.1, localhost).

I got Specter to connect to my local electrs by editing ~/.specter/config.json and setting _proxyurl to an empty string.

I do want it to use a SOCKS proxy for non-local connections. So let's see how this goes.

Did this work on Specter 2.0.0? I have found that I cannot get Specter to connect to a local electrs since version after 2.0.0, but that it worked great on 2.0.0 itself.

I just tried Specter 2.0.2-pre2 and it doesn't have this problem.
