Your first problem is not a problem,
Squid is a advance and well developed caching proxy servers, so it takes care that it always delivers the right contents , in order to do so it is not simple that when a page is viewed first time will be retrived from cache on second time. Few page uses no_cache directive which means it will never be cached by a good cache proxy server.
Now what is TCP_MISS, it simply means that the specified URL is not retrived from cache, TCP_HIT means it has been retrived from cache, whenever u find HIT then it is from cache,
BTW if you want loose caching then can look for wwwoffle :)

Are you asking to block that ip or port or want squid to not to do anything with it ?

Good day Ricky,

In my case the access.log captures tcp_miss even if I visit the same URL repetitively.

How to I setup squid to cache?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Arulthas.

Well some pages have directive no_cache, then it will never be cached by any good caching software.. eg.. Every page of LS has no cache directive!
