      If you are using Squid you need to set the upstream proxy in Squid directly in the Remote Cache settings.

              So what is not working here? Does the upstream proxy show it failing?

                  Does it show blocked on the upstream proxy?

                  Is it authenticated? Do you have a username/password entered there?

                      Probably need to check the logs then. Both in Squid and the upstream proxy.
