I’ve missed this, it was configured by the package manager during installation in another file /etc/apt-cacher-ng/zz_debconf.conf:

PassThroughPattern: .*

You can reconfigure apt-cacher-ng by running dpkg-reconfigure apt-cacher-ng in the template and PassThroughPattern is configured at this step:

  | Apt-Cacher NG can be configured to allow users to create HTTP tunnels,   |  
  | which can be used to access remote servers that might otherwise be       |  
  | blocked by (for instance) a firewall filtering HTTPS connections.        |  
  |                                                                          |  
  | This feature is usually disabled for security reasons; enable it only    |  
  | for trusted LAN environments.                                            |  
  |                                                                          |  
  | Allow HTTP tunnels through Apt-Cacher NG?                                |
