The problem with our using a Web proxy is that it too cached stale CVDs if it was using the BOS Cloudflare server. That is, the DNS TXT record reported a new CVD, but the proxy couldn't deliver it. I considered using a proxy on our offsite domain host (which happened not to use BOS), but that seeme

Before retiring I had a requirement to place an AV tool on all our Unix systems, most of which did not have direct internet access. They were distributed across several subnets, as well. A single local mirror was able to handle the load, and our load on the ClamAV mirror farm was not impacted. T

Originally, when we were pulling ClamAV updates over a slowish DSL line, I wanted to save bandwidth, and a Private Mirror looked ideal. Then, when we started using the much faster cable link, I just kept it, since it worked, and it also kept machines like our file server isolated from the Internet.
