Netflix Canada Just Got Rid of Its Cheapest Ad-Free Plan Without Even a Heads Up
> But I’m working on setting up a VPN at my house to tunnel all Netflix traffic through ...
On a technical point, you might be able to get away with just using Squid for the proxy, with pretty much default settings.
http://www.squid-cache.org
I used to use that years ago (not with Netflix though) running from a data centre, using an ssh (autossh) tunnel to reach it securely.
Worked pretty well, aside from the extra latency due to the packets having to go an extra half way around the world. ;)

How to get my IP traffic data to an AWS lambda using Darkstat?
I recommend trying a transparent proxy like Squid. There are many analytics tools for Squid logs. Squid can generate TLS certificates on the fly to inspect secure websites but you'll have to generate and install a CA certificate and key into Squid. You'll also have to import the CA certificate on any machine accessing the internet through the Squid proxy. Squid has the added bonus of caching content to speed up web browsing and reduce data usage.

Web resource caching: Server-side
A couple of dedicated server-side resource caching solutions have emerged over the years: Memcached, Varnish, Squid, etc. Other solutions are less focused on web resource caching and more generic, e.g., Redis or Hazelcast.

Why does linux use HTTP to get updates?
Also, the fact it is distributed by HTTP allow companies (and ISPs) to cache content in Squid servers (http://www.squid-cache.org/). And this is quite a feature!

How to monitor web activity on home network
If your router is compatible with custom firmware (Tomato or DD-WRT) you can flash it and use the logging features of those platforms. Otherwise no there isn't really an "app or software" that can do this, you need a piece of hardware that sits between the LAN devices and the internet connection. That can be a full-fledged computer, if you're willing to use it as firewall or router (pfSense), DNS server (PowerDNS) or proxy server (Squid).

Web Debugging Proxy to Remove Headers from Incoming Requests
I found Privoxy, and it seems to do what I want, so maybe wondering if anyone would be eager to recommend. There is also Tinyproxy, but it can only add headers not remove them.

How to select the appropriate client and server tunnels to access anonymous broker service
If you're just doing an HTTP client and server, Wireshark will work but a reverse-proxy is probably an easier to use and more focused tool. I have used https://github.com/tinyproxy/tinyproxy tinyproxy in the past successfully.
