Or if you use a browser capable of connecting to proxies using https
instead of http then the https_port directive of Squid-2.5 or later can be
used for the proxy port with a identical result.
Actually stunnel is only required on the client, and only if the client is
not capable of using https for proxy connections. stunnel connects fine to
a Squid https_port, eleminating the need of stunnel on the Squid server
to decrypt the request.
