Squid Proxy Server on Ubuntu 18.04 Minimal

Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. It has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator.

Fully pre-configured and maintained by Tidal Media Inc., this Image provides you with a ready-to-run, hardened, and secured Squid Proxy solution. It offers a rich access control, authorization, and logging environment to develop web proxy and content serving applications, plus a rich set of traffic optimization options, most of which are enabled by default.

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

Squid Proxy Server is an excellent solution to a variety of proxy and caching server needs, and scales from the branch office to enterprise level networks while providing extensive, granular access control mechanisms, and monitoring of critical parameters via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
