Squid sends X-Forwarded-For unless you actively configure Squid not to.

But most likely you need to tell vbullentin to trust the header from
your proxy. It's not something it can do automatically as that may leave
it open to spoofing attacks.

Check the vbullentin manual on how to make use of X-Forwarded-For (or
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in CGI langauge...)
