Sorry, forgot to reply to squidusers again. 1) I want to use another port because where I am, no other port is open. The port is 81. 2) I put inside of my .conf file: http_port 81. 3) Not from what the grep command had said. Someone else suggested to use it so I used it. Supposedly nothing. 4) Not from what I had seen.
