API Caching: Techniques for Better Performance
Squid Caching Proxy — A popular and widely adopted proxy and caching solution for network protocols. It caters for FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. Squid operates in a similar way to Varnish and optimizes data flow between the client and server. In terms of security, it has authorization, access control, authentication, and support for SSL/TLS. As a bonus, you get activity logs.

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.
