Which Proxy Server Port Should I Use for Optimal Performance and Security? or How Do I Choose the Rig

Wow, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t expect so much feedback. I tried 8080 first, but my work WiFi blocked it (lame), so I switched to 3128 and it’s working fine.

Still kinda confused about caching tho—does that mean it stores data? Wouldn’t that slow things down if it’s saving too much?

Also, anyone got a simple guide for Squid Proxy? The docs are a bit overwhelming. Appreciate the help!
