It sounds like they are maybe using extra HTTP level checks to identify
a proxy and assuming the IP is faked. A lot of people do that to get
around the breakage caused by sites assuming they can know the
geo-location of people.


If you have a recent Squid try these two options. Try them individually
to see if you can get away with only using one:

  forwarded_for transparent
  via off


PS. if your Squid does not accept that "transparent" parameter, please
upgrade. It may be that an upgrade would solve the problems anyway.
