for installing squid you could use for redhat # rpm -ivh squid.xx.xx.xx.rpm from installing by yum # yum install squid -y for ubuntu # sudo apt-get install squid
now the mail thing... go to squid configuration file squid.conf and do some imp changes.... http_port 3129 is default.. change it to whatever it suits you, most of the people work on 8080 and i go for 8082 after that in acl section acl any_name src yournetwork (here your network means the the client side which you want to access the internet like mine is acl jda-lan src 192.168.11.0/255.255.255.0) after that http_access allow any_name save the file and then # service squid restart or # squid -k reconfigure or # /etc/init.d/squid restart go ahead and start working there are lots of options for cache, filtering and a lot more..
