Yo, I had the same issue when I first set up my proxy. The short answer is yes, others can connect to the proxy you set up, but you gotta make sure your router’s NAT is configured properly. Forward the port Squid is using to your machine’s IP.
Also, double-check your firewall settings—both on your server and router. If you’re still stuck, try using a tool like [CanYouSeeMe](https://canyouseeme.org/) to see if the port is open to the outside world.
And yeah, security is a thing. Maybe set up a VPN for extra safety if you’re sharing it with others.
