Squid Overview

Squid cache (Squid for short) is a popular proxy server and web cache server, and is open-source software (GNU common public license). Squid has a wide range of applications. It caches related requests by the front-end cache server as a web server to improve the speed of the web server, caches the World Wide Web, domain name systems, and other network searches for a group of people to share network resources, filters traffic to help ensure network security, and accesses the Internet through a proxy in a local area network. Squid runs on Unix systems. Squid has a long history of development, and its functions are quite complete. In addition to HTTP, FTP and HTTPS are well supported. IPv6 is also supported in the test version 3.0.
