you can check for URL strings only by inspecting URL, which means that
someone must look at it. Unless your firewall is capable to do HTTP request
inspection and optional redirection, you must use squid for this, and as it
was already said, when the request reached squid, it's too late to bypass it

you can disable caching, adding/modifying headers, but there's still small
chance that someone will find out you are using squid.

What is the problem? Properly configured squid should not cause any
problems, unless the HTTP server is broken (as it was also already said).
