Its good to hear that pages I frequent will get a speed burst. Would it be better to put squid on my local machine instead of on the remote machine, so that it can take advantage of the local image cache?

Your always going to get a speed boost as far as the web sites you frequent a lot.. These images will be saved in squid and you won't need to download them again..

It just all depends.. It depends on the pages you go to and how much squid can cache of it.. I use it more for a logging perspective and anything going through port 80 must go through squid.

I don't think you will loose anywhere, other then memory.. I would give it a few days and see what you think.


I just figured out how to use Webmin to change this. The reason I setup Squid is because I'm dialing-in to a server that's running on a partial T1. Right now, I have the server NAT'ing my connections out to the internet. I'm hoping to get a bit of a speed boost by using a proxy on the server instead. Am I wrong here?
