Your Squid should be using its own machines default IP to connect at the
TCP level, and you have "forwarded_for off" already to prevent it adding
the X-Forwarded-For header.

Maybe HAProxy is adding it to the headers still. But I do not see the
config option that is supposed to need in your haproxy.cnf

Maybe the server is getting the info some other way directly from the
client?

Careful. Since localnet includes your client IPs this means clients can
connect directly to Squid and send forged PROXY details.

You should have another src ACL that matches only the HAProxy IP. Use
that here.

Either "transparent" or "delete" would seem to suite your needs better here.
