Most likely a networking configuration error on the Squid server, not
a Squid problem.

Try to run a browser on the Squid server itself, not using Squid. I
strongly suspect this won't either be able to reach the VPN servers.

As you say you are running Squid on the VPN firewall itself then my
first guess on where the problem may be is that you haven't set up
DNS properly to allow Squid to resolve the address of these sites..
