I never thought setting up SOCKS 5 proxy in Opera would be a tedious exercise. After an hour of googling I was able to set up office socks proxy partially with Opera. As of this writing I am using Opera 11.61. Opera introduced support for Socks proxy in version 11.10 as can be seen from this changelog .
For reasons unknown to me, we need to enter IP address of the proxy server directly to make it work host-name won't work. This was just the first step. My PAC file was not working with Opera. It works with Firefox and Chrome though. I posted a question on Opera forums asking this. Now waiting for replies. If its not going to work out then its good bye to Opera.
