I found a solution to the ssl-proxy error and updated the package accordingly. Here is what I found and did:

I found out that Superbeam will look for ssl-proxy in the current working directory. So, I install ssl-proxy into /usr/share/superbeam and added a command to Superbeam's startup script that switches to said directory before launching the Java runtime.

Thanks for the notification. I updated to the latest version. The problem with ssl-proxy still remains. I do not known about the Java errors as I cannot reproduce them.

I do not know how to fix the error because I cannot reproduce it. Also I am not a Java expert. If anyone finds a solution, I am happy to update the package accordingly.

@a-ludi The updated package builds and installs fine, but I get this error when attempting to run it: Error: Could not find or load main class com.masv.superbeam.desktop.SuperBeamApp Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

I have all jre & jdk dependencies met

@annoyingduck I updated the package to the latest version. I works fine for me. Please try updating.

This package will not build. The latest package available on Superbeam's website will not run due to java errors. The latest Android update will not work with the Linux Superbeam 1.2 (which worked great). How have you guys got this working with the latest builds?

Version 5.0.3-1 works for me except the sending. This is because the ssl-proxy binary is not installed by the package. Superbeam reports this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Binary file /home/alu/bin/linux-x86_64/ssl-proxy does not exist.

Just putting ssl-proxy somewhere on the path does not work but putting it to the expected location does. I am not sure how to handle this situation. Maybe the Superbeam developers have an answer to this?
