Transparent network proxy
Why is my Mac asking me for a password for transparent network proxy for apple systems services to use the login keychain?
is this someone trying to hack my computer?

What Proxy...(?)
Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:
>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box
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.)
In General—
Disable any VPN or Proxy mcs you are using
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
Power Cycle your router

note:
Third party AntiVirus is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apple’s own built in security:
