The tproxy core is called as:

Symbol: NETFILTER_TPROXY [=m] 

Prompt: Transparent proxying support (EXPERIMENTAL) 

Defined at net/netfilter/Kconfig:281 
 

Depends on: NET && INET && NETFILTER && EXPERIMENTAL && IP_NF_MANGLE && 
NETFILTER_ADVANCED 
        Location: 
 

  -> Networking 
 
    -> Networking support (NET [=y]) 
 
   -> Networking options 
 
-> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) (NETFILTER [=y]) 
                                                                   -> 
Core Netfilter Configuration 


The TPROXY target uses this such as the socket match.

It is at the same place where the TPROXY target, below the tproxy core,
in this group:

-*- Netfilter Xtables support (required for ip_tables)


And the socket match:
Depends on: NET && INET && NETFILTER && EXPERIMENTAL && NETFILTER_TPROXY 
&& NETFILTER_XTABLES && NETFILTER_ADVANCED
