When I type sudo curl ifconfig.me it returns my ip, but when I type the same without sudo I get a squid Access Denied error?
Does anyone know why this could be happening?

1Have you ever had squid installed on your computer??? – Fabby Jan 19 '17 at 20:00

I have, and I have tried to open the conf file just in case it was still there, but cant find it, if it is. curl ifconfig.me was working fine this morning and now I get this error. I must have the file somewhere. How could I find it? – user2829148 Jan 19 '17 at 20:30

install squid again and then remove it completely and report back. – Fabby Jan 19 '17 at 21:11

@Fabby, it just started working again, strangest thing. But done what you advised. All seems to be fine now, thank you very much for your time, much appreciated. – user2829148 Jan 20 '17 at 09:36

It looks like last time you tried to uninstall squid, it wasn't removed completely, therefore first install squid again:
apt install squid
and then remove and purge it completely:
apt purge squid
Now squid and all of its dependencies are fully removed and the problem will have gone away.
