Squid Proxy Training
Squid is an open source, light-weight, high-performance proxy caching server that runs on multiple computing systems. Instead of increasing your company's bandwidth to allow for a higher cache load, Squid caches Internet objects away from the source. The separate Squid cache frees up your bandwidth and reduces access time.
