I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. How can I connect to a proxy and pass all my system's traffic through this proxy (like what a VPN does)? I have both HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies available. I also tried using the proxy settings (which only lets me use proxy for the browser) or using env variables and sourcing them for terminal. But I need to have all the other apps on my device like Telegram be able to use this proxy.
Thanks in advance

I found the partial answer to your question:
- How can gnome based applications such as rhythmbox use a proxy
- Is there any way to set a global proxy in Linux which works across all apps?
Also, I think that TOR is the answer to your question. TOR is a SOCKS4/SOCKS5 encryption protocol. This means that you can use tor client and it will push all traffic through it. I am 100% sure that you can modify the tor config and change proxy servers. I did this before but I can't find my manual.
