Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Easy Squid Proxy Server

Squid is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy. It has a wide variety of uses, including speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests, caching web, DNS, and other computer network lookups for a group of people sharing network resources, and aiding security by filtering traffic.

It may be used to block potentially illegal or malicious file downloads, remove annoying advertisements, prevent access to various categories of websites, and block resources with explicit content.

One of the features of Squid is the ability to operate in reverse proxy mode, also known as an "HTTP accelerator". This option keeps copies of the requested web pages cached, which, on repeated requests for the same documents, can reduce access time as well as bandwidth consumption.

In addition, a "reverse proxy" is able to distribute requests among multiple servers, balancing load and/or providing fault tolerance, that is, in fact, it provides functionality similar to a cluster.

Distributing load over intercommunicating hierarchies of proxy servers and defining strict access control lists for all clients accessing the proxy server is a small part of a wide range of features of Squid.
