[squid-users] Squid as a SOCKS Proxy

Hi all,

Please let me know whether Squid can be used as a SOCKS Proxy... I found
an article in unix.org, kindly let me know whether the below given
information was true... Can I use Squid as s SOCKS Proxy server?

Reference:

URL: http://www.unix.org.ua/squid/FAQ-4.html

4.10 Does Squid support Socks?
We would like to use Squid, but we need it to use socks to connect to
the world outside our firewall.

No changes are necessary to use Squid with socks5. Simply add the usual
-Dbind=SOCKSbind etc., to the compile line and -lsocks to the link line.
