I've a corporate password protected squid proxy server located at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx .  My clients works from home or offices via A/DSL / cable connections. Squid should hide all system's IP address, but it is forwarding and displaying the system's IP address. How do I configure squid to hide client's real IP address?
