 I still can't understand what the big deal is. The port is defined on
the one liner which attribute name is "http_port"

 cat "/etc/squid/squid.conf" | grep http_port | grep --invert-match "^#"
http_port 3128

 The value 3128 you enter on your network browser settings

 what I need now is the name of the running listening service which
you can get via:

 netstat -tl

 but I couldn't get squid running apparently due to problems related
to using a prefix other than its default:

$ which squid
/media/knoppix/squid3/4.15/sbin/squid

$ squid start

 how can I fix such problems?
