Maybe. What is best to do depends on the reason/thing you want kept secret and won't tell us. So any response we provide to that half-question would probably be wrong.

Note that Via header is a required header for HTTP. Only disable if you need to. It reveals the fact of a proxy being used but no details about your machine.

And it does not carry your IP address, so for the purpose stated it is not relevant.

"forwarded_for transparent" is better.

There are many 'whatismyip' type services, they all do things differently and some use tricks to identify you that no proxy or other service can prevent.
 The IP address those sites display is not always the IP seen by services you connect to.

For privacy protection. Simply using a proxy in normal ways with that "forwarded_for transparent" setting "hides" your client machine a large amount. But does not prevent the machine itself shouting its details to the world in many other ways.
