Squid is a high-performance caching proxy primarily aimed at users who are actively surfing the Internet. Squid supports user interaction with protocols such as FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and GOPHER. Unlike other similar projects, the Squid proxy server has an interesting feature – it implements user requests as one large non-blocking I/O process, which ensures higher server performance as a whole.
This is a quick deployment and ready-to-run image.
Simple and rapid installation. Easy to maintain.
