First of all download and install:
https://github.com/diladele/squid3-windows
Install it on a directory with no name spaces, I suggest C:\Squid
Do not start squid untill is fully configured to get the most of it. ok?
Config:
go to C:\Squid\etc\squid\squid.conf and add/edit the following lines to enable pipelining compatability, disk cache and enhanced memory cache.

This config can be used on Squid 3.5 linux to optimize performance.
Now if you need more info about configuring squid go to
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
Create cache directory structure:
execute in CMD
C:\Squid\bin\squid.exe -z
This will create the mentioned directory structure at cache_dir
Now we can Start Squid Server tray
Squid will be operating using port 3128, accesible on 127.0.0.1 and your DHCP/Static IP
use Squid Server tray to start/stop squid
the service name is squidsrv.
If you use Firefox, you might enable pipelining.
write about:config on addres bar and press enter
change the following parameters.
network.http.pipelining true
network.http.pipelining.abtest true
network.http.pipelining.aggressive false
network.http.pipelining.reschedule-timeout 2200
network.http.pipelining.ssl true
network.http.proxy.pipelining true

ReplyDeleteWe specialize in serving intelligent network administrators high quality blacklists for effective, targeted inline web filtering leveraging Squid proxy. We are the worlds leading and ONLY publisher of blacklists tailored specifically for use with Squid Proxy Native ACL. We also publish the worlds LARGEST adult domain blacklist, as well, as the worlds first blasphemy blacklist. Our works are available in several alternative formats for compatibility with multiple other web filter platforms. There is a demand for a better blacklist. And with few alternatives available, we intend to fill that gap.
Squidblacklist.org Est. 2012. Owned and maintained by Benjamin E. Nichols & Co. It is an extension of the work I have been doing for years applying filters to my own networks with squid proxy and firewalls. Squidblacklist.org is platform whereby I hope to share the amalgamation of these works with the community, in the hopes that it will serve the greater good, helping to secure networks while providing a useful resource for individuals looking for a reasonable level of control of http traffic on their respective networks using a range of filtering solutions.
It would be our pleasure to serve you,
