Ok, your problem is a FAQ: see www.squid-cache.org, look in the FAQ at
running squid *behind a firewall*.

the no-query means that you won't send ICP requests - port 7 won't be
used (which is good).

You need to configure never_direct in your squid.conf to ensure that all
requests go via the ISP's proxy. If you don't, then squid simply
considers the cache peer as a hint, not a must.
