proxychains
proxychains - a tool that forces any TCP connection made by any given application to follow through proxy like TOR or any other SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) proxy. Supported auth-types: "user/pass" for SOCKS4/5, "basic" for HTTP.
You can go even further with tools like proxychains that let you chain multiple proxies. This is used while setting up tor and comes pre-installed with pentesting distros like Kali and ParrotOS.

mitmproxy
An interactive TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy for penetration testers and software developers.
Most general use cases will be satisfied by the above 2 steps.
