Hey everyone,
So, I set up a proxy server recently (using Squid, if that matters), and it’s working fine for me. But I’m kinda stuck on one thing: *can other people connect to the proxy i set up*? Like, I want to share it with a few friends or maybe even my team at work, but I’m not sure how to make it accessible to them.
I’ve got the IP and port configured, but when they try to connect, it just doesn’t work. Is there something I’m missing? Do I need to open ports on my router or something? Also, is it safe to let others use it? I don’t wanna mess up my setup or expose my network to risks.
Any tips or step-by-step advice would be awesome! Thanks in advance, y’all.
(Also, sorry if this is a noob question—still learning the ropes here!)
