What I notice by checking cache.log is that it stops for a while on helperOpenServers: Starting 1/60 'ntlm_auth' processes 2017/10/05 11:36:06 kid1| Starting new ntlmauthenticator helpers... This was not a usual behaviour on Squid 3.4; At the moment of the upgrade, I had to adjust various path from "/squid3" to "/squid" .. I checked authenticators path and other occurrences in conf file, everything seems to be ok. Just for testing purposes, I would try my config on a new clean install, just to be sure this is not related to the upgrade in some way, and let you know!
