Howto create a transparent https proxy with firehol and tinyproxy?
As far as I can tell tinyproxy simply does not support incoming HTTPS connections. It will permit you to access HTTPS sites by using the CONNECT method, but for that to be used, the browser/client must know that it is talking to a proxy server, and use the correct connection methods.
The ConnectPort
directives simply defines which ports it is permissible to make connections to.
The only FOSS product that supports transparently proxying HTTPS connection is Squid, and the support for that is relatively recent. In also introduces some pretty major security concerns since a transparent HTTPS proxy has to perform a man-in-the-middle attack and decrypt the connection so that it knows what to connect to.
