qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: v5.0.3
Operating System: Archlinux x86

What is the problem?

When using SOCKS5 proxy the DHT Bootstrap Nodes (dht.libtorrent.org, dht.transmissionbt.com, router.bittorrent.com, router.utorrent.com, dht.aelitis.com) connect outside of the SOCKS5 proxy over port 53 even if all "use proxy for x" options are enabled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. enable SOCKS5 proxy and all "use proxy for x" options
  2. restart qbittorrent
  3. see connections for the DHT Bootstrap Nodes outside the proxy
