The default setup is for Grase to redirect all web traffic through the 
proxy. Because of this, there is a firewall rule the prevents clients 
from directly accessing the proxy (which would allow them to bypass Grase).
If you have tried customising squid, chances are the latest update 
overwrote your changes, we install a special squid.conf.grase file, so 
we don't overwrite your changes from before Grase was installed. This 
squid.conf.grase file is symlinked to squid.conf and the squid.conf is 
moved to squid.conf.orig (so if you uninstall the hotspot, your original 
squid.conf is restored). However, if you edit the squid.conf file AFTER 
installing the hotspot, then those edits will be overwritten on upgrade.

How are you trying to use the proxy? From the hotspot clients, you 
shouldn't' need to do anything as users are transparently redirect 
through the proxy. If you need to use it from other clients not on the 
hotspot (i.e. you have clients on the "WAN" side of the hotspot that use 
the same proxy), then you'll need to check the firewall to see if it's 
being blocked there.

What is the error message you are getting?
