the problem with not opening safesquid.cfg is that,
first you need to switch to root user using
sudo -i command.
We need to start safesquid in putty using the above command
Command - /etc/init.d/safesquid start
for seeing this will be start or not use above command
command - netstat -nltop
Then open safesquid.cfg.

Hello,

As per your Error Screenshot: `The Proxy Server is Refusing Connection`
This On One hand means that your Browser is able to reach out to the Proxy Server but cannot connect to the Port.
This Happens,
1) Proxy Server Service is Not Running (In this case SafeSquid Service is Not Running or not Running on the Port that you specified in the Browser.)
2) Firewall is Enabled is Blocking the Port.

`Connection Refused`
are well known Error messages which means
Service is Not Running (atleast on the port that you connected to)
OR
Firewall is disallowing you to connect to it.
