HTTP traffic thru redsocks service using iptables not working

I used transocks (https://github.com/cybozu-go/transocks) instead of redsocks, my iptables config looks like that:

https://gist.github.com/andersondanilo/a28e7165fa8a9700d8ead20a224ecf44

example transocks config:

listen = "0.0.0.0:12345"

# Connect to HTTP Proxy
proxy_url = "http://USER:PASS@HOST:80"

# Connect to socks5 Proxy (you can create with ssh)
# proxy_url = "socks5://10.20.30.40:1080" 

[log]
level = "info"

script to configure iptables:

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Transocks: https://github.com/cybozu-go/transocks
# 1. Install: go get -u github.com/cybozu-go/transocks/...
# Note: depending on your vension of go, you will need the env: GO111MODULE=on
# 2. Create a "transocks" user
# 3. Execute: sudo -u transocks $HOME/go/bin/transocks -f transocks.toml

set -e
stty -echoctl

After trying the answer of Atreyu94 and some other examples this is what worked for me:

/etc/redsocks.conf

base {
    log_debug = on;
    log_info = on;
    log = "file:/var/log/redsocks.log";

    daemon = on;

    redirector = iptables;
}

redsocks {
    local_ip = 0.0.0.0;
    local_port = 12345;

    ip = my.proxy.dns;
    port = 3128;

    type = http-connect;

    login = "myUser";
    password = "myPassword";
}

redsocks {
    local_ip = 0.0.0.0;
    local_port = 12346;

    ip = my.proxy.dns;
    port = 3128;

    type = http-relay;

    login = "myUser";
    password = "myPassword";
}

Executing command sudo iptables -t nat -nL

As you can see in my tables i redirect all HTTP traffic to the http-relay port i also redirect the tcp traffic of port 11371 thru the http-relay port i don't even know why that works but it does. That particular redirection i saw it in:

https://jmkhael.io/escape-proxy-hell-with-redsocks/

Also i only redirect OUTPUT traffic because am not working on a server but on my personal computer. If you want to use the computer you are working on as some kind of nat gateway you should consider also using the PREROUTING tables.

The redsocks2 website (https://github.com/semigodking/redsocks) probably explains your problem. This example must be contained in the configuration file. I quote verbatim:

"To make redsocks2 works with GoAgent proxy, you need to set proxy type as 'http-relay' for HTTP protocol and 'http-connect' for HTTPS protocol respectively. Suppose your goagent local proxy is running at the same server as redsocks2, The configuration for forwarding connections to GoAgent is like below:

    redsocks {
     bind = "192.168.1.1:1081"; //HTTP should be redirect to this port.
     relay = "192.168.1.1:8080";
     type = http-relay; // Must be 'htt-relay' for HTTP traffic.
     autoproxy = 1; // I want autoproxy feature enabled on this section.
     // timeout is meaningful when 'autoproxy' is non-zero.
     // It specified timeout value when trying to connect to destination
     // directly. Default is 10 seconds. When it is set to 0, default
     // timeout value will be used.
     timeout = 13;
    }
    redsocks {
     bind = "192.168.1.1:1082"; //HTTPS should be redirect to this port.
     relay = "192.168.1.1:8080";
     type = http-connect; // Must be 'htt-connect' for HTTPS traffic.
     autoproxy = 1; // I want autoproxy feature enabled on this section.
     // timeout is meaningful when 'autoproxy' is non-zero.
     // It specified timeout value when trying to connect to destination
     // directly. Default is 10 seconds. When it is set to 0, default
     // timeout value will be used.
     timeout = 13;
     }
