Re: [squid-users] Reverse proxy

A random port, higher than 1024. You can force it to use a certain range, but
generally if the connection is already established you should not be
firewalling responses, i.e. your firewall should let packets back through
anyway. Just allow any traffic from the httpd server to the proxy, but only if
connections are already established.

How to do this depends on which firewall you are using.
