+Webproxy
+--------
+
+The proxy service in VyOS is based on Squid3 and some related modules.
+
+Squid is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy. 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_.
+

+ set service webproxy listen-address 192.168.0.1 port 2050
