Use Squid to open a proxy server in Windows

The solution mentioned in the article "break through the company's network blockout and Changyou unlimited network" is to use ccproxy to build proxy server. Ccproxy is a graphic interface program. It is easy to use, but there are two problems: ccproxy is not a free software, and the unregistered version can only provide three connections; the other is that performance and stability are not particularly satisfactory.

Later I found myself indeed ignorant, 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:

Copy squid to the C: \ squid \ etc directory. conf. default is squid. conf, mime. conf. default is mime. conf, cachemgr. conf. the default value is 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.

Install and initialize the service: Go to the c: \ squid \ sbin directory and run the following command:

Installation Service: squid-I

Initialize the cache directory structure: squid-z

Well, it's better than the ccproxy configuration. 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?
