Since you are redirecting the traffic to Squid in the first place. All
you have to do is *not* redirect the relevant traffic. See your firewall
software documentation on how to configure that.


The hard part is figuring out which traffic you want the proxy to
service, and what to bypass given only a TCP SYN packet.


Be aware that once a TCP SYN+ACK packet is delivered to accept the
connection Squid *has* to service that TCP connection in its entirety.
Such 'service' may mean terminating it without any traffic, tunneling it
elsewhere, or full processing of the traffic.
 Either way Squid is the agent servicing it. You cannot have iptables
suddenly divert packets to other software mid-stream.
