Now, I already seen the problem why I was not able to configure the SafeSquid properly and decided to use it instead of the above setup. The problem I encounter when I was setting it up was every time I change the Run Level of the safesquid or to start it during boot time, it always hang. Yesterday after noon, I checked the init.d script of the safesquid and I saw the problem. The installation I've downloaded from their website install the safesquid script to init.d. At the status part of the script, I saw an infinite loop because the script calls the status function inside the status function causing it to have infinite loop.
