Correct. Squid IS a proxy. It can be used both as a Internet proxy or as a
reverse-proxy/surrogate infront of selected web servers.
When used as a proxy it does provide some anonymization features for
http:// requests (but not https:// due to the encryption).

Squid is not the best tool for this job.
A easier approach is to write a CGI application or similar web server
plugin. The major part of services like the-cloak.com is the HTML rewrites
needed, not the "proxying".
