Hi Aparna

SOCKS5 support is built into classic i/o and is completely transparent
to the application protocol layer:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#Socket(j
ava.net.Proxy)

The non-blocking i/o (NIO) does not work like that and cannot be
transparently layered on top of SOCKS5. Support for SOCKS5 would need
to be specifically built into the I/O event processing logic, which
would be a very major undertaking.
