Completely go Anonymous with the help of your SQUID Proxy

lets assume you already did this steps How To Install Squid and How to Secure Squid Proxy i assume you are already enjoying your private Proxy surfing the world wide web but for your information some website can still detect your WAN IP address because $_SERVER has http-forwarder

for example you go to this site http://whatismyip.com/

and you get this result

Your IP Address Is: 119.95.IP.IP
Other IPs Detected: 67.IP.IP.185
Possible Proxy Detected: 1.1 67.IP.IP.185:PORT (squid/2.6.STABLE21)

anyways we will not discuss about $_SERVER at this moment, this step is to hide your ip address “tweak” to be done on your squid.conf

1. find header_access area
2. add this lines

header_access Proxy-Connection deny all
header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all
header_access Connection deny all
header_access Via deny all
header_access Cache-Control deny all
header_access Keep-Alive deny all

1. $service squid restart

now if you try your proxy again and go to http://whatismyip.com/ you will only see your squid proxy IP address not your WAN ip address now your done! enjoy surfing anonymously
