For domain names like this you should be using "dstdomain" ACL type
instead of a regex.

?? there is nothing about a "redirect" in that squid.conf snippet you
showed.

Can you please display the whole squid.conf. Without all the
documentation #comment or empty lines though.

"it" being squid I assume?

There is almost always other configuration you had to add in the
network or browser causing the browser to use the proxy. This will
have probably broken your test result.

If you did actually not have any of that, then you just proved that
Squid was not involved with the problem.
