The offer was for DNS hosting, i have no idea if he is willing to host
a squid server.

I'm sure gwicke who has set up the squid can deliver more help
about that issue.
If it's a reliable server and the offer is still valid, why not? To run
a squid, port 80 needs to be unused though, or one has to do some
iptable tricks to redirect wikipedia to another port. Apache would work
as a proxy as well- but it doesn't support purging, so it couldn't
cache.
An account on the server would be necessary imo, otherwise maintaining
the squid would be difficult.
