If you want to make your own proxy server with CentOS 6, 32/64bit OS, here is the guide....

First, we need to install Squid:

yum update

yum install squid -y

Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf and add the following lines: (to allow access from authenticated persons and disable ipv6)

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd

auth_param basic children 2

auth_param basic realm My Proxy Server

auth_param basic credentialsttl 24 hours

auth_param basic casesensitive off

acl users proxy_auth REQUIRED

http_access deny !users

http_access allow users

tcp_outgoing_address SERVERIP all

You need to remove this line "http_access deny all" and can change "http_port 3128" to any other port. For example "http_port 8080"

Next, create our authentication file which Squid can use to verify for user authentications:

touch /etc/squid/passwd

chown root.squid /etc/squid/passwd

chmod 640 /etc/squid/passwd

htpasswd /etc/squid/passwd USERNAME

chkconfig --level 2345 squid on

/etc/init.d/squid restart
