[![Installer squid3 with YunoHost](https://install-app.yunohost.org/install-with-yunohost.svg)](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=squid3) [![Integration level](https://dash.yunohost.org/integration/squid3.svg)](https://dash.yunohost.org/appci/app/squid3)
*squid3* 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.
### Disclaimers / important information
### Instruction
1. The app can not be **multi-instance**(can't be installed many times on same server).
2. **LDAP** is there(Registered users can use there login username and password to browser internet through the proxy)
3. **Port number** used by the proxy will be sent to the **admin mail** of the Yunohost server.
4. The username and password is **asked twice** first time you start the browser(I have no idea why this happens).
### Configure Squid3 for Firefox
1. Go to **Preferences -> General -> network proxy**
1. Select **Manual proxy configuration**
1. In **HTTP Proxy** enter your **domain name or server IP** and in **Port** enter the port sent to your **admin email**.
1. Check **Use this proxy server for all protocols**.
1. Under **No Proxy for** enter this **localhost, 127.0.0.1**.
1. **Save and restart** the Firefox.
If you try Squid 3 in any other way please write the instruction in the issue so that I can add it to the readme
