[squid-users] SQUID refuses to listen on any TCP Port

[ben]

Hi Eliezer,
Thanks for your help. I tried your method. it worked in a few VM 
instances but not on others. All have the same version of ubuntu 20.04. 
I just have no idea why Squid is so glitchy. same methods, same OS, 
sometimes it did start accepting connection on the specificed TCP port, 
but most of times it didn't. I also tried to install from a PPA repos 
and it is the same story. Any suggestion?
