In this article, we will learn how to install and configure the Squid proxy server. A Squid proxy server is an open source and GPLD proxy with web cache. The Squid proxy server has various uses as we can speed up the web server by caching the repeated requests from the clients and we can use it for name server query. We can use it for looking at the network or a group of people for sharing the network resources.
Squid proxy is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients which supports FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Squid can handle all the requests in a single and non-blocking I/O driven process. Squid keeps the meta data and the hot objects in the RAM, and caches the DNS lookups, and it also supports non-blocking DNS lookups.
