Check your squid.conf file. Initially, the default is to have
"http_access deny all" at the top of the ACLs so nothing gets through
without you properly building your ACL list. As a quick test, you can
change the "deny" to "allow" and try it again, but I don't recommend
keeping it that way.

Hope this helps.
