Hey! So, to answer your question "can other people connect to the proxy i set up," yes, they can, but you’ll need to do a few things first. You’re right about opening ports on your router—that’s usually the main issue. You’ll need to forward the port Squid is using (default is 3128) to your server’s local IP.
Also, make sure your firewall isn’t blocking incoming connections. If you’re worried about security, you can set up authentication in Squid so only authorized users can connect. Check out [Port Forward](https://portforward.com/) for a guide on how to open ports on your router.
Good luck!
