macOS client doesn't work through SOCKS5 Proxy #453

Describe the bug

I'm using dropbox in China, where the service is blocked by national firewall. Dropbox client can work with self created SOCKS5 proxy on rented server. However Maestral client can't make connection the same way, even if I enable SOCKS5-Proxy in WLAN settings or route the client through Proxifier.

With VPN enabled

VPN disabled, only SOCKS5 proxy.
With conventional VPN Maestral can work fine though, which is a bit strange.

To Reproduce

Expected behaviour

Is there any workaround? I tried to convert socks5 to https and route Maestral through https proxy in Proxifier. Sadly it still won't work.
System:

  • Maestral version: 1.4.8
  • Python version: 3.9.6
  • OS: macOS 11.5.2
  • Desktop environment:
  • PyQt version (for Linux GUI):
