I'm trying to use SSH to tunnel my traffic to the machine that is running squid. The machines are not on the same network.

Now it works from the local machine that is actually running squid,

localhost:3128 for proxy.

Just point your browser to the proxy server on port 3128. SSH is not
needed.

Maybe I'm understanding this wrong but I thought if I used SSH to
connect to the squid host it would appear as a local connection and
the acl for localhost for work.

SSH supports port forwarding. But that's surely not the normal mode of
operation and proxy surfing.

I hope it's clear that Squid is a HTTP proxy which is not at all connected
to SSH.
