Re: "I am trying to explore SOCKS5 support for gemini clients,..."
I made a very basic version of a gemini to socks5 proxy that can be used with clients that support the gemini proxy protocol, this works nicely to access TOR sites except that it does not have client certs since I don't think that is possible. https://tildegit.org/alexlehm/gemini-socks5-proxy

If you’re interested in it for Tor use, I use Lagrange through with the torify wrapper program and it seems to work fine.
diohsc supports socks5 (via -S and -P options)

I should mention that I am on Windows, so most socksify solutions would not work, though Sockscap might work

I have successfully built diohsc on Linux, that works to connect to SOCKS5

I sumarized my findings about using SOCKS5

I am trying to explore SOCKS5 support for gemini clients, is that in Lagrange in some way? There was some talk about using TOR to access gemini servers on IRC and one option to do that would be to use the SOCKS5 interface to forward the DNS and socket connection to TOR and then to the .onion server but it seems that very few clients support that. Lagrange has some proxy configuration but in other ways so that I could not configure a TCP connect proxy.
