Okay, all makes sense.

So long as your Squid server really does have a public IP address, then yes.

However, the address you posted earlier 192.168.1.45 is a private IP address,
not routable across the Internet, and will not work if you put it into public
DNS.

Maybe you should tell us how your Squid server can be accessed from the
Internet?
