Squid is a caching web proxy. It replaces the cache of your browser
with one that's:
- Centralized. Multiple browsers, users, and/or hosts can hit the
same cache.
- Specialized. Squid is a cache. It's not a browser / mailer /
newsreader / HTML editor / toaster. It's a cache. It specializes
in being fast and configurable to your needs.
- Bigger. Throw as much storage at the cache as you can spare. I run
about 1.5 GB on my firewall (the storage is otherwise unused).
Memory and storage are offloaded from my workstations.
- Portable. Put the cache where it's useful, needed, and/or out of
the way. Again, mine's on a firewall.
To create a transparent cache, you'll create a NAT rule for your
firewall to redirect INTERNAL traffic bound for EXTERNAL sites on PORT
80 to the PROXY listener port.
I actually do this under OpenBSD, my rule is:
rdr dc0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 -> 192.168.0.1 port 8080
Cheers.
