New user of squid. Used it many years ago but things have changes. I set up a proxy recently then forgot about it as I had other jobs to take care of. Seems I left it running but only had a couple of sites with IPs to the cache for testing. Yesterday, I wanted to get back to the cache and saw a great deal of traffic I/O on the cache but the weird part was that none of it was for or on my network. It looked like I've been used as some sort of payment gateway for a short while :). Anyhow, I do have firewall security in place, there was no compromise of the server itself so how in the heck was this happening? I kept the logs but being new to squid, means nothing to me just yet. Here is my very basic setup file, maybe it's something silly I did, like the last line that says let anyone in. I would appreciate input on this, thanks very much.
