2 questions about Squid server on Ubuntu

[The Undefined]

Hello guys,
I was trying to set up a proxy server using Squid on my ubuntu server, after setting the basics up I'd like to ask a question about something which aren't work quite right:

1. When I'm trying to connect to the proxy for the first time, even when I provided the password using the System Preferences on my mac account, It shows a modal requesting a username-password to authenticate.
   I've checked the username-password combination multiple times, the things which I've inserted to the System Preferences are same as the one I can enter to that modal and establish the connection.
   I checked that on my iPhone as well, It also shows a modal and asks for a password.
2. I've searched a bunch of places about the anonymity of Squid proxy and I've found out that It's required to re-compile the source code with --enable-http-violation switch to be able to configure it.
   Are there any workarounds for this or It's a path you've guys went already?!

Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to BUMP, to see if there are any helps in this topic.
@proxified do you have any ideas about it?!

I am definitely not the best person to be able to answer it.

Then why not compile?
Especially seeing this is a server, it makes perfect sense to let the software running on it be as specific to the hardware as possible.

Listen, now that you're Admin, you have to learn some stuff. Its incumbent on ya!

Why would you run software that is generic on a server when you have the opportunity to make (and save... for all intents) it Custom/Special Software that will run more efficiently on your specifc HW assembly...

Compiling sounds harder that it actually is (its actually the PC doing the hard work after all)..

Fix and Take a look at this document, half way down through it.

Okay then, It seems that I have to re-compile the cache server, what about the first question, do you have any ideas about it?!

Why not 3proxy or tinyproxy? Squid is a massive script, not really good for something small.
