Squid requests do look slightly different. There is a header:

    X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.0.2

And if there is a cascade of squid servers, like I have where I run
one at home forwarded to one of my colo servers, it combines them:

    X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.0.2, 172.16.0.4

If you use the "forwarded_for off" configuration option, it does NOT
turn it off. Instead it replaces the IP address with "unknown".
I have it off for both of my proxy servers, so I get:

    X-Forwarded-For: unknown, unknown

So it is still apparent that squid is operating.

Now as to why someone would make their site not accessible from a proxy
I am not sure. I can get to both www.nvidia.com and www.wdc.com just
fine over mine, so I don't think they have done that in this case. But
I would like to get that "X-Forwarded-For:" taken out of there (and have
posted a question to that effect to make sure I exhaust all configuration
remedies before I apply the surgical knife of emacs to the source code).
