Thanks for detailed analysis. So I did some test and could not resolve the 
issue.

First of all I moved to use EC2 instance using VPC so all my servers are 
under the same subnet (10.0.1.0/24) that fixes the ip route command issue 
but it didn't help.

I went with this guide http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.squid.html) 
since it's close to what I want in terms of routing and it doesn't involve 
NAT (I don't have additional NAT in this subnet since it can access internet 
directly). This guide is almost the same to the other one (same idea).

Result:

1) before anything I made sure my VPN client can access the internet 
normally - works

2) apply policy based changes and two thing happen:
2a) no port 80 traffic is going to SQUID server
2b) client can't navigate the internet (I can ping the hostname but browser 
can't load the page; tshark show traffic going to the web site but there is 
nothing coming back; normally after DNS name resolution web server talks 
back to the client).

Rules I used:

iptables -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -t mangle -p tcp --dport 80 -j MARK --set-
mark 2
echo 202 http >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
ip rule add fwmark 2 table http
ip route add default via <SQUID IP> dev eth0 table http
ip route flush cache

All the apps I am using on my phone still seems to works (I assume non port 
80 still work fine, great).

Additionally when I add the word "intercept" my curl - http://<SQUID 
IP>:3130 www.nba.com always return access denied (deny all requests). 

Thanks alot
Thanks,
