[squid-users] Quick question on using squid as a reverse proxy
We've thinking of using squid as a reverse proxy as part of a plan to open up access to a particular web site to outside users. Does squid as it's installed do any kind of checking of URLs for signs of attacks, or does something additional need to be installed (and what's popular for that)? Besides taking away direct access to the webserver (and any vulnerabilities it may have) and providing some caching for static content, what are some other advantages of using squid this way? I'm trying to help put together a security recommendation. Thanks! --Steve Steve Pfister Technical Coordinator, The Office of Information Technology Dayton Public Schools 115 S.

Re: [squid-users] Quick question on using squid as a reverse proxy
Thank you... I'll definitely check into that. Is there any where that lists a minimum hardware spec for using Apache that way? --Steve Steve Pfister Technical Coordinator, The Office of Information Technology Dayton Public Schools 115 S.

More likely you would want to use Apache with mod_security as reverse proxy. Exactly made for that purpose.
