 There are many known ways to fingerprint a proxy, and Squid is not 
even trying to hide its presence beyond a couple of basic directives 
like "via off". It is possible to make Squid "more stealthy", of course. 
Since needless traffic modification sometimes causes compatibility 
problems, the Squid Project ought to accept quality improvements in this 
area IMO. However, I am not aware of any active efforts in this direction.


Whether a particular Squid change (to remove proxied traffic 
modification) can defeat a particular proxy detection mechanism depends 
on whether that mechanism relies on that traffic modification 
(exclusively), of course. I do not know what linuxize.com is using right 
now. Needless to say, they can change or improve their detection methods 
just like others can change or improve Squid.

[squid-users] linuxize.com and other sites captcha

[Eliezer Croitoru]

I have seen that many sites are against MITM since they want to be able to
reach the client directly and without any ICAP proxy in the middle.

There are services that gives captcha pages when these pages are being MITM
by squid, for example:

https://linuxize.com

 

@Alex, can we please try to define what cause this and if it is at all
possible to avoid this? (eventually.)

 

Thanks,

Eliezer
