It has a wide variety of +uses, including speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests, +caching web, DNS and other computer network lookups for a group of people +sharing network resources, and aiding security by filtering traffic. Although +primarily used for HTTP and FTP, Squid includes limited support for several +other protocols including Internet Gopher, SSL,[6] TLS and HTTPS. Squid does +not support the SOCKS protocol. + +All examples here assumes that your inside ip address is ``192.168.0.1``. +Replace with your own where applicable. + +URL Filtering is provided by Squidguard_. + +Configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. code-block:: none + + # Enable proxy service + set service webproxy listen-address 192.168.0.1 + + # By default it will listen to port 3128. If you want something else you have to define that. + set service webproxy listen-address 192.168.0.1 port 2050 + + # By default the transparent proxy on that interface is enabled.
