Windows Server 2019 with Easy Squid Proxy Server

A Squid Proxy Server is a feature-rich web server application that provides both reverse proxy services and caching options for web resources. This provides noticeable web-resources speed-up and allows to reduce network load times when being utilized.

One of the features of squid is the ability to operate in reverse proxy mode, also known as an "HTTP accelerator". In this case, instead of caching requests from multiple users to multiple sites, Squid retains 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 also 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.

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.
