acl home src 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
http_access allow home

This gives access only from workstations on that subnet. You try to connect from 112.134.70.10 which is not allowed from your access list.
Modify the access list to include all the workstations allowed to access your Squid proxy e.g. like this

acl home src 112.134.0/255.255.255.0

so how to modify to allow dynamic ips?

Depending on your network setup, if your IP is within certain ranges, you can add these ranges.

If security is not a concern you could change the access rule to "allow all". But then anybody who can reach the Squid machine will be able to use it as a proxy. This is not something you can to do if the Squid machine is on the open internet.
