I'm trying to get my employer to start migrating our servers from Windows 2k over to a Linux OS and figure that I'd start with our proxy. Problem is that I'm the only one in the department that has experience with Linux. I know Squid is a great proxy server, but I need to install something that's more "user friendly" before they would consider the switch. Is there something out there that's robust and would run without a problem on a "recycled" computer? Something like Smoothwall, but dedicated more towards the Proxy side?
how bout using the webmin module for squid to make it more user friendly? if thats no use to u, might wanna take a browse thru the list at http://freshmeat.net/browse/907/?topic_id=907
Yea, that's what I'm thinking that I'll have to do. I just wanted to make things easy for the other people here and thought that there might be something out there that was already striped down - something like Smoothwall is.
I just checked on the ipcop and smoothwall websites, and it seems they both incorporate squid within them. So you should be able to use either of them as a proxy
Ooooo.... Cool! I knew that Smoothwall had a sort of Proxy built-in, but didn't realize they integrated Squid! Gonna have to fire up a test box to mess with!
