The different modes is not about performance but different use cases. accelerator or reverse proxy -> Squid sits infront of your own web server (or one you host), offloading traffic from the web server. The DNS is registered so that Internet users visiting your site contact the Squid server. transparent interception -> Squid sits in the path of your LAN users outgoing web traffic and port 80 traffic is transparently diverted to the proxy by firewall rules. This is a workaround to make all LAN client HTTP traffic go via the proxy even if they haven't configured the proxy settings correct. normal proxy -> The clients is configured to use the proxy, either manuall or via automatic means such as WPAD. accelerator more is Internet users -> your web server. transparent interception and normal mode is your local LAN users going out to random web servers out on the Internet.
