Squid Easy Сaching Proxy Server on CentOS 8.2

Squid Easy Сaching Proxy Server on CentOS 8.2 is a modular, high-performance reverse and forward proxy server that is often compared to Nginx and Apache Traffic Server. Being a caching Web-proxy supporting HTTP and HTTPS, it also supports the protocols FTP, Gopher, SSL, and WAIS.

General Features:

• Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process over IPv4 or IPv6.
• Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM
• Caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups
• Implements negative caching of failed requests.
• Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
• Thanks to using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.

Caching and performance optimization are usually very work-requiring processes, but with Squid everything will be already done for you. It has plenty of options to configure, transparent and accelerated modes that enable you to focus on particular areas of your network.

By deploying Squid in accelerator mode, requests are handled faster than on normal web servers, increasing your network’s performance greatly.
