Proxy server with cache storage.

|Squid
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 workgroup. In the text file in the configuration you have all possible instructions on the server. The service starts at system startup. It is open source and free for everyone.

Proxy and cache manager, squid is waiting for you

|Squid
It serves as cache server so concurrent connections to web´s sites will be much faster to the perception of users, because having stored the data that do not change on the web, the proxy does not consult these elements again and delivers to the user what is stored on your hard drive so decreases your consumption of bandwidth to the Internet. Also if what you need is to see which are the sites in which your users browse, you can generate reports and see data such as who downloaded more information, the most visited pages, among others.

Reduce bandwidth with Squid-Cache

|Squid
The advantages are caching frequently-requested pages to speed up web page load times and also reducing bandwidth by not having to re-request the same page over and over again. It can also be used as a reverse proxy to accelerate web servers by serving up cached content rather than permitting continuous hits to the web server for identical content to multiple clients.

What is Squid-Cache?

Squid-Cache is a open-source caching proxy for the web, supporting a variety of protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It is widely used to speed up requests by caching web, DNS, and other computer network lookups for a group of people sharing network resources. Squid can also be used to deliver content from around the world – by using a caching hierarchy or CDN configurations, it reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages.Squid-Cache is designed to run on Unix and Windows-based systems, serving both as a proxy server and a web cache daemon. It effectively helps network administrators by reducing bandwidth and improving response time by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Additionally, Squid is able to handle requests for hundreds of thousands of users simultaneously, with configuration options that allow for detailed access control, logging, and security settings.For more about Squid-Cache, visit their official website at [https://www.squid-cache.org](https://www.squid-cache.org), where you can find detailed documentation, configuration guides, and the latest updates on its development and features.
