No. Squid will send requests on port 80, and receive replies on a random
port above 1024. That's how all basic TCP/IP communication works, apart
from for specific applications in a (generally) closed client-server
environment, or for specific security reasons (VPN, etc).
You have to allow related communications back to Squid. A firewall with
stateful inspection should do this for you by adding the appropriate rule.
