Socks 5 and tor
See original GitHub issueLatest version of tor doesn’t work with socks anymore. Adding a fake username / password works. The same does changing protocol to 4. Here are the relevant parts of the documentation from tor that describes the change.
PreferSOCKSNoAuth
Ordinarily, when an application offers both "username/password authentication" and "no authentication" to Tor via SOCKS5, Tor selects username/password authentication so that IsolateSOCKSAuth can work. This can confuse some applications, if they offer a username/password combination then get confused when asked for one. You can disable this behavior, so that Tor will select "No authentication" when IsolateSOCKSAuth is disabled, or when this option is set.
and
IsolateSOCKSAuth
Don't share circuits with streams for which different SOCKS authentication was provided. (For HTTPTunnelPort connections, this option looks at the Proxy-Authorization and X-Tor-Stream-Isolation headers. On by default; you can disable it with NoIsolateSOCKSAuth.)

Tor is going to be updated to work with blank usernames and passwords again. It’s not within SOCKs spec, but I guess other clients may still do this.
Thank you very much for the swift response! Wrote this yesterday evening and this morning all is fixed ❤️
