By "consolidated squid firewalls " did you mean security systems which include both firewall software and Squid as sub-sections of the overall system?
as i experienced in past with a firewall called IPCOP, that when i started using Iptable it bypasses every squid rules so i don't want that therefore kindly advice me set of script that didn't bypass the squid and also help me to open these port except all ports, should be blocked.
Squid and firewall are very different things. Your question is very much like asking the office cleaner how to fix the printers (they might know, but its not in the job training).
The Squid project does not provide resources on how to setup general security systems, or how to manage firewalls. The squid wiki (wiki.squid-cache.org) contains some small documentation on firewall rules Squid requires for certain features. That is all. Please locate the documentatiuon for your chosen firewall or security product on how to configure it properly.
