NOTE: This is only needed if you have more than one IP on your server.
Before you can configure squid to use muliple IP address, you need to add IP to your server and you should be able to connect to server using these IPs.
Once IP added to your server, you can configure it to use with squid proxy by running following command
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serverok/squid-proxy-installer/master/squid-conf-ip.sh
sudo bash squid-conf-ip.sh
