Greetings,

I have a a transparent squid in a private net with a 1-1 NAT, Im trying to get a good understanding of what my clients look like to the outside. What is the Default setting " for forwarded_for" if my system is running intercept?
to my understanding if I leave the X-Forwarded-For header my natted clients ip will be the visible requestor ? in the past did we strip that out or is it something new? is there a way to have the final request return the global NAT ip of the client ? currently squid seems to be the final, i think.
can someone clarify this option for me, thanks

 192.168.1.2 ---> 192.168.1.1[ squid]10.10.10.1 -- 10.10.10.2 [ IP NAT ] -- GLOBAL

forwarded_for
New setting options. transparent, truncate, delete.

        If set to "transparent", Squid will not alter the
        X-Forwarded-For header in any way.

        If set to "delete", Squid will delete the entire
        X-Forwarded-For header.

        If set to "truncate", Squid will remove all existing
        X-Forwarded-For entries, and place itself as the sole entry.
