Today working on SQUID

Squid is a very fast proxy-cache program. 

Proxy: An agent that has authority to act for another.

Cache: A hiding place for concealing and preserving provisions which it is inconvenient to carry

Will need pkg-get to install SQUID or you can download the source code and compile it.

I will be using pkg-get to install it. Therefore,

pkg-get –i squid

Default Squid directory structure

Normally Squid's directory tree looks like this:

/usr/local/squid/
                          ./bin/
                          ./cache/
                          ./etc/
                          ./src/squid-2.0/
