Yes, I understand the use of # in "commenting out"
That way, you can
have the instructions for use right beside and along with the actual
configuration directions that the program reads and follows.
Yes, of course; but when the instructions are pure geekish ...

Close, but not quite. Notice that the instructions tell you that the
tag is visible_hostname. You have to tell squid what Hbsk2.localdomain
means using the specified tag.
"tag" is not only geekish, but spark-nail-new geekish to me.
visible_hostname Hbsk2.localdomain
Like that.
OK, I changed it to that. And neither Ffx not galeon can see any
site not p[rotected from proxies even yet. :-(
Gotta go. Talk atcha tomorrow. Don't think I don't appreciate it.
