Comment(by ioerror):

 Bad news - if the GPG client has no SOCKS5 support and you _try_ to use
 the SOCKS5 support it will fail badly.

 It has DNS leaks:
 {{{
 DNS     Standard query SRV _pgpkey-http._tcp.pool.sks-keyservers.net
 DNS     Standard query response, No such name
 }}}

 So in a sense we have gpg support for SOCKS proxies but versions that
 don't have it won't fail before harming users.
