i recomend you to read how-to on squid-cache.org

a minimal configuration is here below, search and uncomment these tags in /etc/squid/squid.conf

http_.... 3128

cache_mem 8
cache_dir /var/spool/squid 100 16 256


cache lru

# now in acl section
#Insert your own rules

acl me src 1.1.1.1
acl reject src 0.0.0.0

http_access allow me
http_access deny reject

#now save the configuration file if you are using squid first time then type

root@c1 root # squid -z

root@c1 root# serveric squid start

to configure your clients define your ip address and http port 3128 in borwser settings

thnkx dear...but what abt NIC cards....

supoose i have public ip as 200.200.200.200
and my proxy ip is 1.1.1.1
do i need 2 nic cards or i can manage it by making one as virtual card??

in first option i told you where you have to define 3128.
you can specify your internal ip address like


http_... 1.1.1.1:3128
