   #HelpNeeded I'm trying to setup a Squid proxy on my Debian-like server and even after following several tutorials I simply can't get it to only allow my IP address to use it, it either works for everybody or for seemingly no one, and I couldn't find any log about the denials.

      For anyone interested in the outcome of this endeavor, first I realized that squid wasn't installed, I was just editing the leftover config files from a previous install, and then I learned that Squid is a good-behaving proxy by default, not masking the origin IP address. To make it violate HTTP standards, it must be compiled with a non-standard flag which I didn't manage to do on my Devuan box.
      
      I then turned over to WireGuard for VPN tunneling which does what I was looking to do with Squid in the first place. After following this handy WireGuard tutorial https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-on-debian-10/#disqus_thread I got DNS resolving issues, but after looking at a WireGuard install wizard https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install/blob/master/wireguard-install.sh I figured I had to add the DNS IP addresses in the client WireGuard config, et voilà !
      
      I'm definitely browsing the Internet from France now. Yup.
