have you tried apt-cacher-ng?

if you don't need much cache, just set the cache limit low.


Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 2-1
Description-en: caching proxy server for software repositories
 Apt-Cacher NG is a caching proxy for downloading packages from Debian-style
 software repositories (or possibly from other types).
 .
 The main principle is that a central machine hosts the proxy for a local
 network, and clients configure their APT setup to download through it.
 Apt-Cacher NG keeps a copy of all useful data that passes through it, and when
 a similar request is made, the cached copy of the data is delivered without
 being re-downloaded.
 .
 Apt-Cacher NG has been designed from scratch as a replacement for
 apt-cacher, but with a focus on maximizing throughput with low system
 resource requirements. It can also be used as replacement for apt-proxy and
 approx with no need to modify clients' sources.list files.

simple web proxy

[Russell Coker via luv-main]

Can anyone recommend a very simple web proxy that works reliably with apt-get 
(unlike Squid)?  What I want is to just allow access to apt repositories and 
nothing else.  Caching isn't really required as the bandwidth available has 
been steadily increasing rapidly while Debian package size has been increasing 
very slowly.

I would consider any sort of proxy, if there's a socks proxy that supports 
white-listing acceptable domains and apt works well with socks then that would 
do.  Just as long as it's easy to setup and likely to be secure.

I have some virtual servers that don't need Internet access for any purpose 
other than updating Debian packages and which run some PHP code and other 
things that tends to call out to the Internet if permitted.

This looks like something that will interest some LUV members. It seems to be 
aimed at beginners.
