' Using a SOCKS5 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
' Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
' the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

' Set the SocksVersion property = 5 for SOCKS5
http.SocksVersion = 5

' Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
' which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
http.SocksHostname = "192.168.1.100"

' The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
http.SocksPort = 1080

' If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password 
' like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
http.SocksUsername = "myUsername"
http.SocksPassword = "myPassword"

' Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
