yo, i had the same issue. resty use socks5 proxy is a bit of a mess. i ended up using a custom dialer and transport, but it’s still kinda hacky.
here’s a quick example:
```go
dialer, _ := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", "proxyaddress:port", nil, proxy.Direct)
transport := &http.Transport{DialContext: dialer.(proxy.ContextDialer).DialContext}
client := resty.New().SetTransport(transport)
```
hope this helps!
