according to the OP
"it works fine without squid proxy and with ssh-tunnel proxy from my
localhost, but with danted proxy I have the same problem - no images and no
videos"

I assume it only works properly when using SOCKS proxy over SSH tunnelling.

since it does not work with local proxy, either danted or squid, tunnelling 
is required for instagram to work.
I have no idea how the blocking is done, via blocking or intercepting DNS 
- DNS over TLS ot DNS over HTTPS would help there
or simply blocking or redirecting destination servers
(access log could help).

However, I'm afraid that the tunnelling at least of connections to 
domains instagram uses is required for make it work.
