To recap:
- X added a Settings option for using HTTP proxies in the app.
- But, it doesn't actually route any traffic to a proxy. Nothing in the app references the setting, and dynamic analysis shows no traffic being sent to the proxy.
- This means people trying to stay safe by using this feature are in greater danger due to a false sense of security.
The bug report I reference below was closed instantly as not-a-bug.
