But this would be a silly thing to do because your proxy could potentially
be used for anything anyone else wanted to send through it. They could
potentially use your bandwidth, or use it to hide behind while doing
something criminal etc etc

Define an ACL for your own block of IP addresses using something like "acl
myips src xxxx", and http_access allow <myips>. Have the _last_ line of
your acl block to be "http_access deny all".
