Boost Web Performance with Squid Proxy Server on Ubuntu 22.04

[@JoseGonzalez-fv7ei]

Thanks For doing this Vid!!! I've looking all over the place for a clear and instructive way!!!! 1,000,000x Thanks!!!

[@KeepItTechie]

No problem bro!

[@firesnake6311]

This channel and its content is criminally underrated

[@KeepItTechie]

I really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@YorranKlees]

I enjoyed the video; it's been a while I haven't setup Squid and I needed an update on the topic for a new project. Turns out squid can also filter depending on the browser, and that's phenomenal when someone uses multiple browsers depending on the activity (administrative services, general web surf, Googlesphere and so on). And the best part is, if you run a DNS and DHCP server on your LAN, (beside your router, which then would have those disabled), you can add Squid seamlessly. It's all transparent!

i liked your clarity in explaining the concepts. managed to follow through. thank you!

[@xbeast7585]

This is the best tutorial on KZbin ❤❤❤

[@midi002]

Excellent point on SSDs and caching.

[@travelandlearn5961]

Caching only worked for your example because you went to an http site. What about https? It doesn't work for https by default, which is the majority of sites these days. Any tips on that?

[@MiBaLinuxTech]

Many thanks for the Video and your work

[@yep81]

man you explained this so well. Thank you

[@KeepItTechie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maherrrmaherrr3521]

hello. how can it cache? when everything is https ? please reply

[@midi002]

The simple answer is, it doesn't. It just forwards the traffic. The advanced answer: With extra configuration, it can act as an interceptor with it's own cert and present it to your PC. Your PC still thinks it's HTTPS and is unaware of the tap. And yes, the concern of is this a way to make a man in the middle tap. Yes, it is.

Thank you so much for that very informative video that you have presented. I could follow all the instructions with ease and everything works exactly as showed on your video. However, I have a couple of questions. The proxy server you created, did you create it on your own computer? If so, is that better than having another computer dedicated to providing that service? Thank you so much.

Always like watching your channel for new updates. Will have to take a look at squid proxy, might possibly run it on a vps. Currently been playing w/ nginx reverse proxy. If you feel like putting up anything about local SSL behind proxmox pfsense firewall that would be great :). Being behind a few subnets & possibly vm makes my public access a lil confusing. Side note, for some reason Home Assistant needs https to run voice locally. Squid seemed like it was easy to install and configure. I love good repositories.

Great video.

Thanks 🙏🏾

Hi there, Thanks for your informative videos. Could you please create a tutorial video on installing and configuring Squid Proxy and connecting to the IBSng service using Radius authentication and Ocserv? I'm very interested in this topic and looking for a comprehensive and practical tutorial. If possible, please also cover the following in your video: Installing and configuring Squid Proxy Installing and configuring IBSng Setting up Radius and Ocserv for authentication Integrating Squid Proxy with IBSng, Radius, and Ocserv Troubleshooting and resolving potential issues I'm sure this video would be very helpful for many of your viewers.

[@deczer03]

Hello I have the same problem pls help me

[@ZackaryLucas]

I know im super late but how do I figure out what my squid ip address is?

[@Joker1314100]

I followed the tutorial and it was extremely helpful! I did run into one issue at the end. When I try to access my router login page, squid does not let it connect. I have not been able to find a work around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@air-drive]

Man you should have been a Kinder Garden teacher, you speak to clear and nice that children will be fixated with everything to say, I can just imagine how they will jump it you say "AND I WILL HUFF, AND I WILL PUFF......."

[@mykolashevchenko144]

Thank you, man!

[@KeepItTechie]

No problem bro!

[@Ale-m3u]

what if I accidentally deleted the squid.conf file and every time I run sudo apt-get install squid i dont get to download the conf file

[@KeepItTechie]

the configuration file is still missing, you can manually restore it from the Squid package's template file located at /usr/share/squid/squid.conf. Command: sudo cp /usr/share/squid/squid.conf /etc/squid/squid.conf
