You'd get a better boost by running squid on your local machine. Doing this will cause less traffic over the dialup link because the local cache will likely be able to fill a decent portion of your requests. Running squid on the server you dial into will save traffic over the T1, but everything will still be transferred over your dialup connection.

The reason I setup Squid is because I'm dialing-in to a server that's running on a partial T1. Right now, I have the server NAT'ing my connections out to the internet. I'm hoping to get a bit of a speed boost by using a proxy on the server instead. Am I wrong here? Jeffrey Smelser wrote: > There is an ACL line you need to change as its restricted to localhost.
