Is there any way to use the SOCKS5 proxy service without having the VPN turned on at the OS level? (zerobytes.monster)

I've been using IVPN for years and I was excited to hear about the proxy service being offered because Firefox has multi-account containers that you can configure with a proxy. I hoped I'd be able to use my existing IVPN subscription to location-scope some of those containers.

Unfortunately, this would require me leaving the VPN on at all times. I do not want to do this, the vast majority of my traffic does not need to go over a VPN. If there were a way to enable auth for the proxy itself I could only use the service for those containers and no where else.

Is this currently possible with IVPN? I don't believe it is, and if that's the case, does anyone know a provider with whom this would be possible?
