I’m considering installing Squid proxy for purely experimental/educational purposes.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Block ports 80 and 443 outbound from your network, with the exception of the squid proxy and have every computer on your network require the use of it to connect to the internet. Make a large cache for it, maybe 8 or 16 GB (although a lot of it won’t be really used).
On the squid proxy use a dns blocklist (like the ones from pi-hole or blocky) or just straight out point the squid server to a dns sinkhole like the aforementioned pi-hole or blocky (or commercial ones like nextdns or something).
Cheers.
That’s exactly what I wanted to achieve, single WAN I/O, or as close as…
It looks like Webmin provides some form of Squid package control, to what extent I guess I’ll find out.
A bit more research about it first…
Ok, so used Webmin to install Squid…
mmmm, this is going to be fun…
