You should not require anything special. Just Squid configured as a
plain proxy and allowing this remote server to access it.

Note that you SHOULD NOT configure Squid as a reverse proxy. CONNECT is
a proxy method.

But as amos mentioned, why is that remote server sending your CONNECT
requests in the first place? Probably better to address the problem
there.
