Re: [squid-users] weird traffic coming from my squid box to clients on port 3128

I am a newbie here. Does "doing interception on inbound connections"
mean that my squid box intercepts the client's request and returns the
traffic from port 3128? Is this the normal way through which squid
returns the request to its clients?
Thank you.
