It's entirely plausible (I'd even say common) for VPN clients to get
192.168.... addresses; also if there's a NATting router in the path and Squid
is logging its address, that could easily be 192.168....
I'd say your best way of working out what's happening is to pick such an
address you see (frequently?) in the log files, and ask whoever's network this
is what machine that address belongs to.
Hope that helps,
Antony.
