Use Squid to open a proxy server in Windows

Unix/linux under the famous open source free agent software squid (www.squid-cache.org) is a windows native version squidnt. In this case, who is fighting for the power of squid?

The installation and configuration of squid in windows is also simple, including the following steps:

1. Download squid

You can download the source code and compile it yourself. Of course, it is more convenient to directly download the binary file. Download the list at http://www.acmeconsulting.it/squidnt/, which is directly linked to the following link:

Squid-2.6-squid-2.7

2. Installation and configuration

The installation and configuration process is simple.

Install: directly decompress the zip file downloaded to c: squid.

Configuration:

In the c: squidetc Directory, copy squid. conf. default to squid. conf, mime. conf. default to mime. conf, and cachemgr. conf. default to cachemgr. conf. If you have special configuration requirements, you can modify squid. conf. The default port of squid is 3128. Here we need to modify this line:

Change http_port 3128 to http_port 25.

Service Installation and initialization: go to the c: squidsbin directory and run the following command:

Installation Service: squid-I

Initialize the cache directory structure: squid-z

Well, it's better than the configuration of ccproxy. Restart the machine or run "net start squid" on the command line to start the service and then access the service through a proxy. Is it convenient and quick?
