The port is defined on the one liner which attribute name is "http_port" cat "/etc/squid/squid.conf" | grep http_port | grep --invert-match "^#" http_port 3128 The value 3128 you enter on your network browser settings what I need now is the name of the running listening service which you can get via: netstat -tl but I couldn't get squid running apparently due to problems related to using a prefix other than its default: $ which squid /media/knoppix/squid3/4.15/sbin/squid $ squid start 2021/05/29 15:33:48| ERROR: unlinkd_program /lib/squid3/unlinkd: (2) No such file or directory 2021/05/29 15:33:48| FATAL: unlinkd_program /lib/squid3/unlinkd: (2) No such file or directory 2021/05/29 15:33:48| Squid Cache (Version 4.15): Terminated abnormally.
