I suspect you have installed adware/malware. Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.
(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)
