After installing squid, I tried to configure: $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 52.6.0 based on the steps on that link: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-and-configure-squid-proxy-on-debian-10/ but I can't find the value I should enter as "http proxy" as port I will simply use the default. this is what squid tells me # systemctl status squid ● squid.service - LSB: Squid HTTP Proxy version 3.x Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/squid; generated; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-05-24 22:41:50 EDT; 21min ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 12808 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/squid stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 12834 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/squid start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 12874 (squid) Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/squid.service ├─12872 /usr/sbin/squid -YC -f /etc/squid/squid.conf ├─12874 (squid-1) -YC -f /etc/squid/squid.conf ├─12875 (logfile-daemon) /var/log/squid/access.log └─12876 (pinger) May 24 22:41:50 debian systemd[1]: Stopped LSB: Squid HTTP Proxy version 3.x.
