I like this tool because it is a fast and open-source cache proxy server that through reuse and caching of frequently used web pages the response time is very efficient and it is compatible with HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0.

Once downloaded there was multiple zip file to extract and it was a tiring job to extract the folder inside folder and installation procedure was too tiring. Finding solutions for some issues is also very tiring. The service is expensive a bit.

I like this system because of the ease of use in Windows and Linux, I configure everything from a text file, modify all the instructions and voila, I already have a proxy server installed. I say the use capacity I need and the IP address with the network...

The support you can have is all in Internet, and no partner can give support.
