[🐛 Bug]: how to use socks5 with username and password in selenium?

[GlobalMe2017]

Description

i want to use socks5 with username and password in selenium, but it does not work.

i found a way that could work around with pproxy to create a local proxy without username and password. but i wonder there should be a much better way?

Reproducible Code

proxy = "socks5://IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD"
opts.add_argument(f"--proxy-server={proxy}")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=opts)

Debugging Logs

it just does not connect to the socks5
