Stop Squid proxy from being detected

When you use a proxy server, your traffic can be detected as coming via a proxy by sites like Hulu.

If you are running squid3, the you can stop this detection by adding the following lines to your config file

sudo nano /etc/squid3/squid.conf

Add the following to the file

request_header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all request_header_access Via deny all

You can now test using a site like http://www.whatismyip.com which should now not detect a proxy.
