iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 –sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 –dport 3128 -m state –state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 –sport 3128 -d 0/0 –dport 1024:65535 -m state –state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

    1. Squid doesn’t talk to the internet on 3128. It listens on 3128. So you have to remove –sport 3128 from your OUTPUT chain.

      [you] (random high port) >=====> (3128) [squid]
      [squid] (random high port) >=====> (80) [internet]
