### Connect to SOCKS5 Proxy with HttpClient

Source: https://github.com/mihazupan/httptosocks5proxy/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates how to configure HttpClient to use a SOCKS5 proxy for making HTTP requests. Ensure the proxy server is running and accessible.

```csharp
var client = new HttpClient(new SocketsHttpHandler()
{
    Proxy = new WebProxy("socks5://127.0.0.1:9050")
});

var content = await client.GetStringAsync("https://check.torproject.org/");
Console.WriteLine(content);
```

### Configure HttpClient with SOCKS5 Proxy in .NET 6+

Source: https://context7.com/mihazupan/httptosocks5proxy/llms.txt

Use SocketsHttpHandler and WebProxy to route traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy. This approach is native to .NET 6 and later versions.

```csharp
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;

// Create HttpClient with SOCKS5 proxy configuration
var client = new HttpClient(new SocketsHttpHandler()
{
    Proxy = new WebProxy("socks5://127.0.0.1:9050")
});

// Make a request through the SOCKS5 proxy (e.g., via Tor)
var content = await client.GetStringAsync("https://check.torproject.org/");
Console.WriteLine(content);
```
