Suggested Config:
If set to "on", Squid will append your client's IP address
in the HTTP requests it forwards. By default it looks like:

X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3

If set to "off", it will appear as

X-Forwarded-For: unknown

If set to "transparent", Squid will not alter the
X-Forwarded-For header in any way.

If set to "delete", Squid will delete the entire
X-Forwarded-For header.

If set to "truncate", Squid will remove all existing
X-Forwarded-For entries, and place the client IP as the sole entry.
