Proxy IP to real IP conversion

I have a firewall Watchguard XTM-530 in the perimeter of Internet. The firewall will serve an entire building. The firewall has a content filter enabled, so the firewall must known who is the user sending a request to the Internet.

The clients computers have their own default gateway that connect to an MPLS, so the firewall can not be default gateway. I've installed a Squid proxy server but I can not see the real IP Addresses of the computers.

How can I solve it?

If you have placed your Squid Proxy (i fell that u might have) before the firewall for traffic going out to internet, you will not see actual users IP in firewall as all users connect to proxy and then proxy in-turn connects to internet to fetch the web page.

You can make use of a reporting tool/software for the Squid proxy to get you the user activity reports.
