I get this message "Mikrotik HttpProxy Error: 502 Bad Gateway" on some websites I go to (Newegg mostly)
I dont know why its happening and its really frustrating.
 
Solution
I would suggest uninstalling Chrome. Then re-instaling Chrome. Add your Chrome extensions one at a time to see which may be causing this problem.
Yes I am the admin of my PC, and I don't think I have Mikrotik HttpProxy installed. I'm not even sure what it is or how to install it.
 
What kind of router do you use? Also, what add-ons/plug-ins do you have installed in Chrome?

Does this happen with other browsers (IE, Firefox)? What OS do you have installed?
 
I have Win 8 pro, I have some Chrome extensions like ad-lock plus, and another one called Hover Zoom. I'm using a Belkin router. It only happens with Chrome. I can go to Newegg no problem with IE (But it all loads really slow). I dont have Firefox or any other browser installed.
 
If you don't already have, go to www.malwarebytes.org and get Malwarebytes. Install, update, and run a full scan. It will take some time to scan. Delete everything it detects.

The free version is fine (I think it will offer you a free trial of the Pro version, that is fine as well).
