Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator. It runs on most available operating systems, including Windows and is licensed under the GNU GPL. http://www.squid-cache.org
This project provides scripts needed to recompile 3.5.23 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with support for HTTPS filtering and SSL inspection. The compiled debian packages for eCap and Squid 3.5.23 are available at ubuntu16.diladele.com repository.
If you are installing Squid 3.5.23 for the first time run the following commands:
# add diladele apt key
wget -qO - http://packages.diladele.com/diladele_pub.asc | sudo apt-key add -
# add repo
echo "deb http://ubuntu16.diladele.com/ubuntu/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu16.diladele.com.list
# update the apt cache
apt-get update
# install
apt-get install libecap3
apt-get install squid-common
apt-get install squid
apt-get install squidclient
If you have installed previous versions of Squid 3.5 from this repo then please run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade". Please also check that your current squid.conf file from previous version is not overwritten.
In case you need a high quality HTTP(s) traffic filtering solution, we recommend Diladele Web Safety.
