Hi Alex
If you run an honest proxy that doesn't decode SSL, then there's a
significantly reduced amount of data to be cached as more and more sites
move to SSL.
If you run a proxy to "protect" your users from undesirable content,
then you are already losing - the users can just turn on their mobile
data to see any content you might block.
Having said that I have run a Squid proxy at home to restrict the times
that my kids can access the net. Up to 56k dial up and ADSL 1 it
provided some performance improvements and saved a bit on my data cap.
But it's a losing race and I am slowly removing the restrictions.
So I think the days of the corporate proxy are rapidly disappearing.
regards,
Glenn

On tin SSL proxy can have performance issues also now with a lot of
vendors like apple not liking any form of SSL inspection and with
CND's outside of the 17/8 address space its becoming hard work. Out of
most of the treats I have seen the last few months have all been SSL
based.

Subject: [AusNOG] The Case For Corporate Web Proxies ... ?
Hi all,
Just looking for opinions here. In this day and age with next gen
firewalls such as Pal Altos' etc are there any strong arguments to
continue to use a web proxy such a Bluecoat ?
