squid3 for YunoHost
This package allows you to install squid3 quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.
Overview
Squid: Proxy with Optimising Web Delivery
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator.
Shipped version: 4.13~ynh1
Disclaimers / important information
Instruction
- The app can not be multi-instance(can't be installed many times on same server).
- LDAP is there(Registered users can use there login username and password to browser internet through the proxy)
- Port number used by the proxy will be sent to the admin mail of the Yunohost server.
- The username and password is asked twice first time you start the browser(I have no idea why this happens).
