    //  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
    //  properties prior to calling Connect.  The connection may be SSL/TLS or 
    //  non-secure - both will work with a SOCKS proxy.
    //  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
    //  IP address:

    //  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    //  of the SOCKS proxy server:
    socket.SocksVersion = 5;
    //  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    //  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.
