[squid-users] manual proxy configuration ...

[Albretch Mueller]

 After installing squid, I tried to configure:

$ firefox --version
Mozilla Firefox 52.6.0

 based on the steps on that link:

 https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-and-configure-squid-proxy-on-debian-10/

 but I can't find the value I should enter as "http proxy"

 as port I will simply use the default.

 this is what squid tells me

# systemctl status squid

 what should I do? Are there any foolproof step by step guidelines out there?

 I should be able to find the values out of squid configuration file
that I must use as entries in firefox
