Which part of the online documentation are you looking at?

On the official website (<http://www.squid-cache.org/>) menu under
"Documentation" we have several sources:

 * Reference guide - for detailed description of a specific directive if
you are needing reminder of usage or specific details of its operation.

 * Examples - how-to config snippets for common installation needs.

 * Books for learning Squid; beginners guide, and expert reference.

 * FAQ and Wiki for more up to date alternative to the books.

Note the order of policy enforcement. Deny as much as possible first,
allow later. Faster ACL types first whenever possible.
