Squid Easy Proxy Server with Webmin GUI on Ubuntu

Powered by Tidal Media Inc. ready-to-run Easy Proxy Server Image, which can be installed in a quick and simple way. 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.

SOCKSv4/SOCKSv4.5/SOCKSv5 proxy helps establish the connection to the server on behalf of a client, then route all the traffic back and forth. This proxy is not tied to a specific port of network protocol enabling greater flexibility for a user.

Highlights:

• 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
• By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings

Summarize, it could be said - this is an extremely flexible and customizable proxy server. You can use it to speed up data transfers in a network of computers that require frequent updates of some kind.

Additionally it comes with Built-in Webmin which allows you to manage the operating system through a web interface, without using the command line and remembering system commands and their parameters.
