== Installation ==
ssh into your hda
become root:
<pre>
su
</pre>
install squid:
<pre>
yum -y install squid
</pre>
== Configuration ==
Getting basic Squid running wasn't too hard at all.
== Set Up Clients ==
In web browser, goto its settings or preferences and enter a '''Proxy Server''' using host/server URL as: hda. No username or password required. It may require setting the port number to 3128 (default Squid port), and setting the checkmark for all protocols to use the proxy.
Now when you view a web page, it stores a cached copy on the server. Then when you look at it again, it uses the cache instead of downloading it all again.
** And more details from [http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy#head-182f30adede2d8daf8569aef5027629ed799b0d4 the Squid FAQ] and [http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy#head-935dbe4ef8ea8e21c1e04cc7753a09095c0d8285 here]
** others say you can use DHCP or DNS to forward to the proxy too
** more ipchains rules are listed [http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch32_:_Controlling_Web_Access_with_Squid here], haven't test it yet
