We use squid (ready to install in the packages) and it works quite good.... very simple installation and configuration... Btw ... A questions for the experts... Is possible that the proxy slow down the connection if a lot of users use it ? I'll try to explain better : If everyone use the ethernet band of the proxy (instead of using the "modem band" in the case of no proxy) for downloading and surfing is possible that all the system slow down ? I hope it is clearer , but I am not so sure :-) Regards... Gianmarco "Unix expert since yesterday" Home page: http://www2.masternet.it/~gmarco Server page: http://www2.masternet.it/
