I have seen that many sites are against MITM since they want to be able to reach the client directly and without any ICAP proxy in the middle.

There are services that gives captcha pages when these pages are being MITM by squid, for example: https://linuxize.com

@Alex, can we please try to define what cause this and if it is at all possible to avoid this? (eventually…)
There are many known ways to fingerprint a proxy, and Squid is not even trying to hide its presence beyond a couple of basic directives like "via off". It is possible to make Squid "more stealthy", of course. Since needless traffic modification sometimes causes compatibility problems, the Squid Project ought to accept quality improvements in this area IMO. However, I am not aware of any active efforts in this direction.

Whether a particular Squid change (to remove proxied traffic modification) can defeat a particular proxy detection mechanism depends on whether that mechanism relies on that traffic modification (exclusively), of course. I do not know what linuxize.com is using right now. Needless to say, they can change or improve their detection methods just like others can change or improve Squid.

Alex.
