At present only one transparency option will work and build. The tproxy
configure option is for kernels patched with the TROXY patch from balabit.
The netfilter option is for standard kernels using iptables NAT REDIRECT.

You will need to pick the one that applies to you and re-build squid.

It probably is, but squid when configured with multiple transparency
options squid prefers the more transparent option (TPROXY is the only
completely transparent).

It sounds like you need to drop the tproxy.
