Squid by default allows access to any port. Your probably have a acl
line in your squid.conf that limits the ports it may connect to (usually
called Safe_ports). Add the ports you need to this list.

The Safe_ports list exists since it is considered a security risk if
your users may use the proxy to connect to any TCP/IP server (such as
SMTP or Telnet ports on other servers).
