Hey! So, "can other people connect to the proxy i set up" is definitely possible, but you’ll need to forward the port on your router. If you’re not sure how, check out [RouterPasswords](https://www.routerpasswords.com/) for your router’s default login info and guides.
Also, make sure your firewall isn’t blocking the port. And yeah, security is key—maybe set up a VPN or at least enable authentication in Squid.

Yo, so "can other people connect to the proxy i set up" is a yes, but you’ll need to forward the port on your router. If you’re not sure how, just search for your router model + "port forwarding"—there are tons of guides.
Also, check your firewall settings. And if you’re worried about security, set up a whitelist in Squid so only specific IPs can connect.
