How to Install and Configure Proxy Server with Squid3 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS

 https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQx27uETEmIq5j5OdE-nFucfkoJeiSn-pqyvTywxaeQwPRq71hG1tlpS4K_B6d8v3GnFumWQL8uA2wwCt-r-WWcqdq-6X1MzHVTlUZlyE02v7P-6BmVVULwsRchjeXFwbdmzzeY08OtdI/s1600/squid-ubuntu.jpg

Squid is a popular appliaction that used as web proxy cache server which provides proxy and cache services for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, gopher and other popular network protocols. Squid can implement caching of Domain Name Server (DNS) lookups and caching and proxying Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) requests, and perform transparent caching.in addition, Squid also supports a wide variety of caching protocols, such as Internet Cache Protocol (ICP), the Hyper Text Caching Protocol (HTCP), the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP), and the Web Cache Coordination Protocol (WCCP).


The Squid proxy cache server is an excellent solution to a variety of proxy and caching server needs, and scales from the branch office to enterprise level networks while providing extensive, granular access control mechanisms and monitoring of critical parameters via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). When selecting a computer system for use as a dedicated Squid proxy, or caching servers, ensure your system is configured with a large amount of physical memory, as Squid maintains an in-memory cache for increased performance.

On This tutorial I will demonstrate how to installing and configure Proxy server with Squid3 on Ubuntu server 12.04. Here’s basic features squid3 :
  • Connection Pinning (for NTLM Auth Passthrough)
  • Native IPv6
  • Quality of Service (QoS) Flow support
  • Native Memory Cache
  • SSL Bump (for HTTPS Filtering and Adaptation)
  • TProxy v4.1+ support
  • eCAP Adaptation Module support
  • Error Page Localization
  • Follow X-Forwarded-For support
  • X-Forwarded-For options extended (truncate, delete, transparent)
  • Peer-Name ACL
  • Reply headers to external ACL.
  • ICAP and eCAP Logging
  • ICAP Service Sets and Chains
  • ICY (SHOUTcast) streaming protocol support
  • HTTP/1.1 support on connections to web servers and peers.
  • More feature here

Installing Squid3

Log in on Ubuntu Server, then type command below to Install squid2 in ubuntu server 12.04:

sudo apt-get install squid3 ccze

Configure Squid3

Create directory for Cache, on this case cache directory placed on directory /home/precise/cache/. Then change the permissions cache directory to 777 and owner proxy:proxy

sudo mkdir -p /home/precise/cache/
 
sudo chmod 777 /home/precise/cache/
 
sudo chown proxy:proxy /home/precise/cache/
 
Before editing squid configuration, Make a backup of your /etc/squid3/squid.conf file for future reference. Squid.conf has nearly all the options listed and it is recommended to go through that file to know more about squid options.

sudo cp /etc/squid3/squid.conf /etc/squid3/squid.conf.origin
 
sudo chmod a-w /etc/squid3/squid.conf.origin
 
Now edit /etc/squid3/squid.conf file, delete all options in /etc/squid3/squid.conf then replace with squid3 configuration below.

sudo nano /etc/squid3/squid.conf
