Can Squid anonymize HTTP requests?
Yes it can, however the way of doing it has changed from earlier versions of squid. As of squid-2.2 a more customisable method has been introduced. Please follow the instructions for the version of squid that you are using. As a default, no anonymizing is done. If you choose to use the anonymizer you might wish to investigate the forwarded_for option to prevent the client address being disclosed. Failure to turn off the forwarded_for option will reduce the effectiveness of the anonymizer. Finally if you filter the User-Agent header using the fake_user_agent option can prevent some user problems as some sites require the User-Agent header.

In the client browser settings, I can direct them to the squid box inside the network, OR I can direct them to a different proxy. The problem is this. We want them to go to the squid box to remove certain header lines, to block certain sites that we are required to by local proxy, etc. WHAT THEN?
