Well then should it not be possible to tell SELinux that this particular 
connection is acceptable? To me it is vital, I need to control system 
usage and that's where I get my usage data! The problem is minor and 
doesn't warrant disabling SELinux in any way, I only see it upon 
rebooting, usually around 04:00 which is my habit. But the "star" is 
there again this morning.

As a result I have once more done [as su/root]: setsebool -P 
squid_connect_any=1 as it suggests. Whatever that does takes perhaps 30 
seconds and shows a lot of cpu activity while doing it so I know 
something is happening.

The security alert, generated at this morning's boot:

    Summary:

    SELinux is preventing the squid daemon from connecting to network
    port 8180

    Detailed Description:

    [squid has a permissive type (squid_t). This access was not denied.]

    SELinux has denied the squid daemon from connecting to 8180. By
    default squid
    policy is setup to deny squid connections. If you did not setup
    squid to network
    connections, this could signal a intrusion attempt.

    Allowing Access:

    If you want squid to connect to network ports you need to turn on the
    squid_connect_any boolean: "setsebool -P squid_connect_any=1"

    Fix Command:

    setsebool -P squid_connect_any=1
