Overview

Squid is a mature, widely deployed caching proxy for HTTP and HTTPS. It sits between clients and the wider web, caching frequently requested content to cut bandwidth and latency, and applying access control over which clients may reach which destinations. It is a common choice for outbound web gateways, bandwidth saving caches and controlled egress in private networks.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Squid hardened, fully patched and configured as a responsible proxy that serves only the machine itself and hosts on private networks, so it can never be abused as an open proxy by the public internet. No proxy password is baked into the image, access is controlled entirely by source address. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses

Caching web gateway for a private network
