I would like to setup a filtering mechanism for certain websites I use, including the ones served over https.

Privoxy provides this functionality, but only over http.

I'm pretty comfortable around programming and system management, but when it comes to hardcore networking my knowledge and experience lacks a little.

I found this question/answer which seems to address the https problem by tunneling traffic using STunnel.

I have issues placing some of the concepts that come into play. Is it possible to set this (meaning "creating the ability to use a custom Privoxy filter (not just blocking, really altering content) on HTTPS traffic) up on a single machine running Windows? I mean would that then act as both the STunnel client/server and the Privoxy proxyserver?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I think nginx is your answer. http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

You can setup your SSL cert on there and have all clients connect to it. Then just reverse proxy the request to local host (no need for ssl here since its just local), and add client headers onto the local request.

Clients can tunnel into nginx (which is technically a web server in itself) and nginx will reverse proxy domains or ips as necessary.

Then you can use https://github.com/justcoding121/Titanium-Web-Proxy as a traffic interceptor and send all traffic to it.

Privoxy can filter SSL (https) after a fashion. See Privoxy FAQ on SSL.
