My guess is that Oldman has installed Squid on a Virtual Server he's obtained from some Internet-based hosting provider, and is then trying to access it from a browser on his home network. If that's true (Oldman, I'm hoping you're still following this discussion, and have realised that people are genuinely trying to help you), then the Squid proxy will need a couple of lines such as: acl homenet src aa.bb.cc.dd http_access allow homenet where aa.bb.cc.dd is the public IP of your home Internet connection. If you don't know what this is, you can find out from https://whatsmyip.com/ (without using the proxy, of course). I still advise extreme caution in running a Squid server on a public IP address, however. Regards, Antony. -- This email was created using 100% recycled electrons.
