Squid configuration directives are case-sensitive, so VIA will not be
doing anything useful.

One alternative you can try with Squid-3.2+ which might work better is:
    forwarded_for delete

That can be achieved in older vesions with:
    request_header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all

You will also want to erase these headers which contain location hints:
   request_header_access Accept-Language deny all

maybe also the Accept: header whih can have duplicate location details.

Also, avoid using Chrome web browser which embeds language and location
details using a few places where HTTP permits ... like its User-Agent
string and Cookie headers timezone field.
