  • Why squid? Any proxy would do. However, simply to fake your IP, maybe tor is more feasible. But afaik this question has the focus on the defensive side. Commented Apr 13, 2019 at 15:03
  • You did not understand. Squid proxy is not to change ur IP! Squid proxy is to block any internal network requests! I mean via requests.get(unsafeURL) user can put any internal URL into unsafeURL and it will be fetched! But if we will have squid proxy via reuests.get(unsafeURL,proxy="suqidproxy") it could not be fetched because squid proxy does not allow internal requests on NETWORK level! Or at least you can configure squid proxy to do ONLY EXTERNAL requests! Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 13:11
  • (Note, I did not vote to your post.) Possibly, that we really did not understand. I suggest to elaborate your answer, so you might collect also upvotes. The important thing is: you need to formulate your answer so that most voters understand it. And, honestly, many of them are smart. Only your answer is too short. Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 13:22
