Answer 1

is there a way to start a secure proxy?

There's one. You need to create a chrome extension with proxy settings.

manifest.json

    {
        "version": "0.1.0",
        "manifest_version": 2,
        "name": "%NAME IT AS YOU WANT%",
        "permissions": [
            "proxy",
            "tabs",
            "unlimitedStorage",
            "storage",
            "<all_urls>",
            "webRequest",
            "webRequestBlocking"
        ],
        "background": {
            "scripts": ["background.js"]
        },
        "minimum_chrome_version":"22.0.0"
    }

background.js

//note that it's a JS code. You can use any additional code to do anything :) 
var config = {
    mode: "fixed_servers",
    rules: {
      singleProxy: {
        scheme: "http",
        host: "%HOST%",
        port: parseInt(%PORT%)
      },
      bypassList: ["foobar.com"]
    }
  };

chrome.proxy.settings.set({value: config, scope: "regular"}, function() {});

function callbackFn(details) {
    return {
        authCredentials: {
            username: "%USERNAME%",
            password: "%PASSWORD%"
        }
    };
}

chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(
        callbackFn,
        {urls: ["<all_urls>"]},
        ['blocking']
);

Pack it as an archive. For instance yourExt.dat

var proxy = "yourExt.dat";
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddExtension(proxy);
var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
