Hi, welcome to LQ!

I split your post out of the unrelated thread on cron & scripting.
Please do not hi-jack other peoples threads.

For a very basic setup you need to edit the file /etc/squid/squid.conf and add two lines. First search for the second occurance of "Recommended minimum configuration and add an acl for your network below the acl CONNECT method CONNECT line

Code:

acl mynetwork src 192.168.2.0/24

Then search further down the configuration file for the line containing INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE. Add the following line above the localhost access rule

Code:

http-access allow mynetwork

Restart the squid service. Set your browser to use port 3128 on localhost and try going to an external website.
