Something like users can connect to the URLs or networks freely
without Squid's interception.


Squid is not doing any interception part itself. It is only the receiver 
of intercepted traffic.


You have to add exceptions to the NAT rules which are doing the actual 
intercept / packet alterations. By the time the packets arrive at Squid 
it is too late to do any bypass. All you can do is allow them out 
immediately with http_access allow lines and/or block the record being 
logged using log_access deny lines.




There is an official video access portal which seems to be eating up
my logs space and then access to it is slowed, somehow.


Unrelated, unless your disks are overflowing and cache file storage 
problems ensuing. Then that is probably something you want to look into 
separately.
