That may be an issue. Years ago I had MySQL failures because MySQL
startup scripts checked UID and GID were mysql. Trying to start the
server as root led to failures. You may be experiencing something
similar. You might try `su proxy` to run as the squid user.

The other thing that comes to mind is SELinux, but Debian does not
enable it by default. If it is a SELinux issue, then something like
`semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 3128` may help. (I'm not sure
what the object type should be for Squid. I'm guessing it is
http_port_t).
