If you have a external interface that you dont want it available to, go in the squid.conf file and look for the interface to bound to, alter it to be 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.0 being your whole internal IP range. If you have a the firewall setup you will have to open port 3128 to allow it to talk to the network EVEN if you are binding squid to all interfaces (0.0.0.0).
