Can other people connect to the proxy I set up, or is it just for me? Alternatively, for a slightly more dir

Wait, so can other people connect to the proxy I set up if it’s on my home network?

If your machine’s IP is public (like no NAT/router firewall), then yes. But most home routers block incoming proxy traffic by default.

Still, check your Squid config for `http_access` rules. If it’s just `allow all`, that’s bad. Also, run `iptables -L` to see if your firewall’s helping.
