AIR, there's not really a lot of config required 'out-of-the-box' unless
you want to clever stuff like transparent proxying - just fire it up and
point your browser at hostname:squid port for a proxy and you should be up
and running (assuming it was set up on a box already configured for name
serving and with its interfaces setup correctly).
There are a few caveats for non-permanent links (likes to try to do a DNS
lookup on starting) but you say you have a fixed link?
