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.
