I'm looking for a way to use configured a Socks5 across the whole system including terminals, apps, browsers, etc.

For instance, I run a socks5 proxy on my localhost on port 1080 using V2ray or Shadowsocks or an SSH tunnel then I can use these proxies on my browsers via Firefox proxy configuration to listen from 1080 port or via FoxyProxy extension on the Chrome by the same way. Now, I'm going to find a way to use this across my whole system same as connecting to a VPN.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please consider the current restrictions in Iran and don't close this post to be hopeful to get a to-the-point answer which is really grateful to us.

@user68186 thank you for your response, but this answer doesn't work for socks5 as other users also mentioned that – Benyamin Jafari Oct 20 '22 at 13:57
