Support --proxy #1029

Closed casualdegenerate closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Is it possible you can add proxy support to ani-cli? Whenever my ISP/Admin bans a site, I can't access it unless I use a proxy.

Describe the solution you'd like Please add a param --proxy [protocol://]host[:port] (And please allow support for socks5 I'd prefer Tor)

Describe alternatives you've considered ? Nocom? (I don't understand what to write here. Just posting a feature I'd expect in this program.)

Additional context I've looked at the source code, and it seems you use wget. When doing proxychains wget https://ident.me it will use the proxy I set(which was socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 in this case) Curious if you can check if the user set a proxy, and if they did you will proxychain the wget so they can circumvent censorship.

Smiley face.

Is a network-wide proxy out of question? Seems much simpler than changing every web request... Alternative is to use a wps, some providers have free tiers which have plentyful resources for a vpn server

There might also be some terminal program that routes outgoing requests of a specific program through said proxy. Implementing this here wouldn't make much sense
