Thank you very much! This helped me with a work project that accesses an API that required a whitelisted IP but was hosted on Heroku a service where IPs change all the time and there are no static IPs. By proxiying calls through a static instance hosted elsewhere I can get things working. Due to the dynamic IPs the IP whitelist in tinyproxy was also a problem so basic auth with at least18 char username and password was a must if was going to do `allow 0.0.0.0`.
I would of just used ssh -D to create a socks5 proxy but ruby the language doesn’t have good support for socks proxies in the http api, especially since I need to use a client cert as well.
