This is likely due to you have binded to another IP earlier.

In tproxy2, you have to set up 'tcp_outgoing_address' before
tproxy will work. However, when using tproxy4, you 
should change of source code to ignore 'tcp_outgoing_address' 
setting ( ie don't bind to this IP at all ! ) and just bind straight
to the HTTP requesters IP.

I haven't quite tested it, but perhaps you can remove your
tcp_outgoing_address setting in squid.conf. That might provide
a fast work around.


Cheers.
