Re: [squid-users] Listening Port

Well. when Squid started using 3128 in ca 1995 there was not many other
webcache services available and certainly no "webcache" entry in any
common /etc/services databases.. two "random" ports where picked
(3128/tcp for proxy, 3130/udp for ICP) and these have stuck.
