No, proxies serve a different purpose. Computers on your network connect to the proxy, and the proxy handles web requests. Some other programs are able to use HTTP proxies, but in general if you run a proxy, its because you want to disable masquerading. Then people only have access through the proxy, and only to web content.

The only thing difficult about setting up Squid is defining an access control list (ACL). Check the documentation. By default, Squid blocks all connections.
