Re: [squid-users] TCP Connection to Parent Cache/3128 failed

Is the parent using port 3128?

Most non-ICP proxies are not using port 3128, but usually other ports
such as 80, 8080, 8000 or similar port numbers...

See the documentation from your parent/provided for how to use your
parent proxy as a proxy.
