No your squid is configured as a twisted open proxy. See below for fixes...

You may not be doing anything wrong. Squid still suffers from bug #7.

I seem to remember helping you with .home.nl earlier. That config was a
bit weird, but there are some entries in your listed config which worry
me terribly...

The global access to permit Purge opens a number of DDoS vectors.

And the use of "always_direct allow all" as the first always_direct line
will prevent your otherwise listed cache_peer link every being used.

Also the fact that the cache_peer link settings are listed LAST in the
config, instead of first indicates its not going to be used even if
available.
