Hey Ben, I cannot tell you if there is something wrong with what you are doing or the OS. What I did was to install a basic squid on ubuntu 20.4 which comes with version 4.10. I shut down the current running suqid. I took the /etc/squid/squid.conf file and left it with a single line. After that I started squid with "systemctl start squid" and it seems to work fine. I shut down squid and downloaded my version and again left the squid.conf with a single line. Just.. adding the mime.conf into /etc/squid/ and it worked like a charm. Try to use "ss -ntlp" instead of netstat. You should first try this on a VM on you local desktop in virtualbox or hyperv.

I just reinstalled the whole operating sytem and started it from scratch but got the same result: No tcp port listening. I don't know if it is something wrong with the OS template. Please let me know what I need to do.
