Thanks for the help, but while I was searching around for this, I saw some cache.log from
other people and squid was not acting like mine.


Like this:

Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: Starting *Squid* Cache version 2.3.STABLE4 for i686-pc-linux-gnu...

What the hell this port is open?



When ever a Squid is started,it will create a process which listens on http_port to serve the http requests.It is as 192.168.0.1:3128 in your setting. Squid will fork another process to resolve IP Address from domain names. You can identify that the process is started on 4372 port from the cache.log entries.




2004/05/25 17:31:09| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 4372, FD 4
Why squid is binding this port? my squid.conf is 99% default, only changed:



Domain names resolving process is created on 4372 port by the Squid process. Ref:// http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-12.html#ss12.3
