Hi all I encrypted the squid.conf file for LAB purposes but squid didn't die

It certainly does not.
What most likely happened is either
a) Your Squid rejected the entire configuration file, and is running
with only the built-in default settings. In this mode it should listen on
port 3128 but deny all requests.
or
b) Your Squid is not using the squid.conf you think it is using. If this
is the case then Squid will indeed be running as if nothing had happened,
simply because nothing has happened (you encrypted another unrelated file
not used by your Squid..)
