Overview
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher, SSL, and WAIS. This is an excellent solution to a variety of proxy and caching server needs, and scales from the branch office to enterprise level networks while providing extensive, granular access control mechanisms, and monitoring of critical parameters via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Squid reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Also, it has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator.
Features:
Set ACL for which networks have access to the internet Block/Allow access to certain websites Block/Allow Content Based on MIME Types (e.g image, text, mpeg) Set time in which users can access the internet at certain times in the day Cache frequently accessed websites, cache files/media Hide users internal IP Addresses Load balance with other Squid proxies Clustering Traffic Interception with WCCP Set authentication to get users to Authenticate (LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS, POP3, DB, etc) Allow/Block IM (Instant Messaging) Adaptation protocol (C-ICAP / eCAP) Caching Dynamic Content WCCP2 and NAT on a private internal network PHP Redirectors SMP Carp Cluster Torrent filtering
The Image is fully pre-configured and implements quick and secure deployment of Squid Proxy in AWS Environments. The solution can guarantee security, uptime, and scalability to all clients worldwide from individuals to enterprises.
Highlights
- Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process over IPv4 or IPv6.
- Squid Caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups
- By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
