Squid proxy howto
Proxies allow you to cache content so you don’t have to reload it twice, make it seem like you’re coming from somewhere else, create content scanners against things like viruses so you don’t get infected, and other stuff. They’ll speed up your internet with the cached content so it might seem faster if you go to the same page frequently. There are lots of ways to do this, but this howto is just a down-and-dirty cut/paste to get squid proxy working on a debian server
Squid proxy setup
apt-get install squid3 |
