So all I need, is a simple and working squid configuration to start with ;-)
But until now, I did not manage to set it up ;-(

If I understand correct, all I have to do, is to create the correct route of
interfaces to start with the sample squid.conf. Is this correct?
The "restricted" port 8080 which is redirected from the firewall to my squid
server has no effect ... And, it might work without any port redirected to
my squid??

Kind regards
