Can you do a packet capture (eg: with wireshark) on the interface between
Squid and the Draytek, to see if there's some discrepancy between source and
destination IP addresses of the request and the response, or something
similar, which would upset Squid?

What do you see in Squid's logs when you attempt to access unauthorised
content and shoould see the Draytek message?

Does the Draytek allow you to modify the page returned?
