It would seem that it is not Squid making those connections outbound
from 127.0.0.1:3128. Squid uses that 184.x.x.x address with random
source ports for *all* its outbound connections.

You don't seem to have NAT involved anywhere, which was my main
suspicion. Forwarding loops via NAT rules can show up as this type of thing.

stoplist is obsolete. You can remove it.

This is bad. It allows any of your clients to forge XFF headers and get
data of their choice added to your logs.

follow_x_forwarded_for should *only* allow your frontend softwares IPs
to be 'followed'.

Quite a few of the above settings are defaults and defaults do not need
to be configured for Squid-3. If you have some time you might want to go
through and remove the unnecessary ones.
