It's dangerous to run random code from random site. The things you list
downloads,

wget -O /etc/squid/squid.conf
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hidden-refuge/squid-proxy-installer/master/spi-rhel5664.conf
--no-check-certificate;;

which is a big WTF in the first place.

1. the --no-check-certificate flag
2. the file there is different from the repository file

If you want to install squid, install it from your distribution's
source, not just run some random program you find in Google's search
engine. All distros have squid available. And at least those squid
versions don't come with malicious config files.

Best of luck,
