Now there should be error messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/squid/cache.log.
It would help, if we know these. Just in case an update of the location db removes the problem.
Can you access the internet with a ‘normal’ device in green or blue network? Smartphones sometimes have their own idea about networking.

2024/06/18 18:15:09 kid1| FATAL: The external_acl_type helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!
Only the deactivation or uncommenting line 450 in the helper script fixed the wrong update temporarily. A short verfiy on the location db showed that even when the proxy was quiting it was tested as OK. A rename and redownload also did nothing at this time.
Luckily, we can confirm that with the latest location db, everything is working again on all systems even without a temporary solution.
