After installation you need to start the service. service squid start And you also need to configure your web browser to use Squid as proxy.

You already have a cache in your browser. And in terms of security the benefits is also somewhat limited. Depends on which security aspects you want to address, but in general the "Safe browsing" mode of Firefox adds a lot more security. Regards Henrik
