Squid proxy showing internal IPs

Issue :

Squid proxy version 2.6 is showing the internal IPs of the clients to the domain resolution sites instead of the Proxy’s own IP address. Even after turning off ‘forwarded_for’, the internal IP’s are still being shown.

Fix :

Add the following line to the squid.conf file :

header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all

This should resolve the issue.
