Using a socks5 proxy for all outgoing calls to the internet originating from a Phoenix application
I want to route all outgoing connections to the internet from a Phoenix application via a socks5 proxy.
How to do that?
UPDATE
For example, it seems that the Langchain library is using Req. Other libraries might use Httpoison or Finch. Is there a way to configure a socks5 proxy for a Phoenix application at the very base level ? Meaning that any HTTP request done by any library would be routed via the socks5 proxy?

I have found a solution:
Using proxychains4 with proxy_dns commented out in /etc/proxychains4.conf.
NOTE:
Documentation says:
proxychains4 supports TCP only (no UDP/ICMP etc). Not sure how this can affect the functionality of Phoenix applications.
For now it is doing the job, any HTTP request originating from the Phoenix application to the Internet uses now the specified SOCKS5 proxy, independent of the HTTP client used in Phoenix.
Your thoughts and comments are more than welcome
