That would be about access via that port number, more than the address
itself.

If you read the Squid manual, it gives reasons about why you may block
access to unusual ports.  (Or it did, the last time I looked, but that
was a long time ago.)  And you should be able to add specific exceptions
to the Squid configuration.

Have a look at the Squid manual, then get back to us if you get stuck.
Have a look at ACLs.  You want to allow access to that address AND that
port, as a combination.  Perhaps that address with all normal ports plus
that one.
