I have recently switched to the server version of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and am not aware of a way to apply a system-wide authentication socks5 proxy so that all traffic on that computer goes through the proxy. If you know of any sources or how-to-do-so's that would be very appreciated. Also using Private Internet Access (if that helps).

*This server is not running any GUI or managers, standalone terminal commands.

Install proxychains with sudo apt-get install proxychains

And add the configuration for your current user:

mkdir ~/.proxychains # create this dir if not exists

cat >> ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf <<EOF
strict_chain
proxy_dns 
remote_dns_subnet 224
tcp_read_time_out 15000
tcp_connect_time_out 8000
localnet 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
quiet_mode

[ProxyList]
socks5  127.0.0.1 1080    # proxy server
EOF

Now test it with: proxychains4 curl http://www.askubuntu.com/
