If you’re asking "can other people connect to the proxy I set up," the answer is *probably*. By default, Squid might allow external connections unless you’ve explicitly blocked them.
Quick fix? Edit your squid.conf and add:
`http_access deny all`
`http_access allow localhost`
`http_access allow your_trusted_network`
Also, check your firewall. If port 3128 (or whatever port you’re using) is open to the world, that’s a problem. Tools like `nmap` can scan your IP to see what’s exposed.
