[squid-users] Re:RE: [squid-users] Puzzled at the ports squid is using. :-(

Thanks, Rob pal!

How to know which port squid is using as iniators port?
How to know which port squid is using as recievers port?

Are they random number or specific number?

My aim is to listen the communication from and to squid proxy.
Which port shall I listen to? Do you have some suggestions about
how to implement my aim?

Best regards,
George Ma
