Squid Auth Proxy Server with Linux 8.3

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. Also, it comes with built-in variable environments to provide an authentication function

After installation of a Squid, web browsers can be configured to use it as a proxy HTTP server, allowing Squid to retain copies of the documents returned, which, on repeated requests for the same documents, can reduce access time as well as bandwidth consumption. This comes in handy for ISP to increase their customer’s network performance and LANs that share an Internet connection.

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.

This Squid Proxy Auth source code bundles with a few authentication backends (“helpers”) for authentication. It means it could use plenty of authentication methods to help you ensure your security!
