Squid

Using the Junkbuster and Squid

   Using the Junkbuster and Squid (a fast cache for web pages, DNS
   requests, etc.) will bring you straight into surfer's heaven. Here is
   a quick intro how to use both:

    1. Install the Junkbuster

    2. Download Squid and install it with rpm. Do not start Squid!

    3. Build Squid's cache directory structure by running

      /usr/bin/squid -z

     Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf to allow yourself access to the cache:

      http_access allow all

     Forward any request from the Junkbuster to Squid's cache. Change

       /etc/junkbuster/config to use the forward file:

      forwardfile /etc/junkbuster/forward

       And add the following line to the /etc/junkbuster/forward file

      *               localhost:3128  .       .

       Note the two (!) dots after the 3128.

    4. Start Squid with

      /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start

       A final note (thanks to Tim Kelley) in case you didn't use
       Junkbuster before: The client (i.e., the browser) needs to be
       reconfigured to talk to junkbuster on 8000 and not squid on 3128.

    5. Have fun


       
   Before:
   Browser -----> Junkbuster -----> WWW

   After:
   Browser -----> Junkbuster -----> Squid -----> WWW
