Squid is just a any other station running a web browser to your firewall.

If your firewall requires browsers to have their proxy settings set then
you need to do the same in squid.conf via the cache_peer directive.

If your firewall does not normally require any special proxy settings on
client stations for browsing to work then nothing should be required in
squid.conf either.

The server where you run Squid needs to be permitted to access the
Internet in your firewall.
