I am trying to redirect all traffic from localhost with a specific port to a socks5 proxy which has authentication. Kind of like how the Tor proxy works.
I tried usinc ncat, but it does not support socks5 proxies

I have a http proxy and I also have an IM APP which only support connect via socks5 proxy, I search for privoxy but it only support convert socks proxy into http proxy, so what can I do?
If I enter a SOCKS proxy into the http section of firefox proxy settings, it doesn't work, only with a http proxy. Shouldn't socks work for this, they're both proxies?
I'm using mitmproxy to intercept traffic, HTTP Traffic is being intercepted but HTTPS traffic is not being intercepted for some reason (?)
Using the default config with the command
mitmweb
Web server listening at http://127.0.0.1:8081/
Proxy server listening at http://*:8080
My proxy config:
Do I have to set a new config? Any help?
If you want to intercept HTTPS traffic, you have to install certificate generated by MITM through http://mitm.it after you set your proxy.
After you visit http://mitm.it , download your certificate according to your Operating System. Then restart mitmproxy to check HTTPS traffic.
However, there are some traffic which is protected using Certificate Pinning , so mitmproxy cannot intercept. For example, the Twitter app, or Instagram App.

I need to put a web proxy in place to log user activity at work after a recent incident. My first thought was Squid proxy but after some research it seems that https requests are a total nightmare. These days more sites are https than http so I need to log both. Can anyone recommend a proxy server or otherwise to pass all http and https requests through to log?
Thanks
Squid can very well handle HTTP as well ass HTTPS traffic. How you should configure squid depends how you want the configure clients (I mean browser).
In general Squid proxy server can be configured to listen for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic on specific port (by default 3128) for squid and clients can be configured manually or using DHCP Option 252 + WPAD (Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol).
Alternately Squid can be configured in transparent mode intercepting the traffic on your network, in this case Squid will listen on different ports for HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Is there any different between HTTP tunnel and HTTP proxy?
In some software I see two fields for proxy either HTTP and HTTP tunnel.
I see the traffic of some http proxy but I cant understand the different between http proxy and http tunnel.
The terms are often intermixed, tunnel providers are called proxies.
Originally, tunneling is the technique of using one protocol to transport data inside another protocol.
A proxy (as in proxy representative)
A proxy acts as an intermediary. It will hide your IP address from the destination (unless it adds it in a HTTP header field such as "Forward"). A proxy uses the same protocol throughout, it can alter the network flow, do caching or security scanning etc. So it's more of an extra hop on the way to the destination.
For example you can use a SOCKS proxy as a HTTP tunnel, i.e. you transport HTTP over it. This is due to the fact that SOCKS is a protocol that is designed to tunnel IP packets.
To add to the confusion, you can use a HTTP proxy to transport some other protocols such as FTP.
A good example for a tunnel is a VPN. Tunnels are often used to evade censorship or firewall rules blocking traffic.
