I'd recommend configuring it properly, rather than disabling it.  Squid
usually works on port 3128, and the SELinux presets for allowing Squid
to work would be configured for it, not 3130.  That's probably why
you're having problems.  There's two fairly simple solutions:  I think
the easiest would be to run Squid on port 3128.  Alternatively, you
could customise the SELinux rule for port 3130.

I can't offer advice on how to do the second one, I haven't studied the
details.
