Thank you for your response.

But already we have ACL on the squid and also on the mikrotik we have a series f permitted users who have access to these ports so opening them should not really be a problem.

When i mean slow i mean that the pages being fetched from the cache considerablely slow down! i have restarted it this morning now and would like to watch it handle requests over peak periods and will report back to you.

But please would like to know how to update my version of squid from 3.2.11 to the current 3.4.4 I would appreciate it if you would tell me in layman's ters how to do so.

Thanks
