Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'm not sure how I should apply your
suggestions because my Squid proxy server is not on my LAN. It is
hosted at Linode.com. I will be accessing it from an Android phone. I
do not know what IP address the phone may have and I suspect it will
be a NAT-style address (not a publicly addressable IP).

It will be using some public IP to get to the proxy. If that is the same IP all the time, use that as the only permitted 'LAN' address.

If the phone is the only user and has changing IP address (dynamic assigned or dynamic NAT) then yes you will have to omit the source IP restrictions. You will need to get the auth going pretty quick in that case.


Shall I follow the rest of your instructions, just leaving out the
part about LAN addresses, or does this create larger issues?

ICP access should not be needed at all in this case, its for use between proxies in a hierarchy. You can probably set the port to zero and remove the icp_access lines altogether.
