I love Squid, and yes, default Squid configuration solves this problem... But if you want a secure proxy, you have to change the parameter http_port to listen only to your internal IP address!!! Default config is: http_port 0.0.0.0 so anyone from the internet can use your proxy (I fond a lot of server so configured!!!!). Change it to http_port 192.168.1.254 #private IP My 0.02...
