RE: [squid-users] Unable to access a website through Suse/Squid.

Yea, I did stumble across those a few days ago, and tried doing what it said to no avail.

Can other people here access this site using Suse Linux?

There is quite many broken firewalls out on the Internet which falls
down when clients & servers have modern TCP/IP implementations such as
Linux..

The Squid FAQ has workarounds for most of them.

and

There is more, but these two is the most common ones..

some sites have also been seen having problems with tcp timestamping,
but these are very rare today..
