Linux as Proxy Server
 

helo everybody..
nice to meat you all.

im running a net caffe in pakistan.but here are some speed problam..and i want to build a proxy server using linux OS...

so plz anyone guide me..which Linux Version..we should use..

either use a purpose built proxy firewall like ipcop or smoothwall, or use absolutely any standard fully featured distro at all.

Smoothwall is the easy way. Just install on a dedicated PC (doesn't have to be that big) and set up with the web interface. Has transparent proxy included as well as firewall and IDS...

... but not as many features as ipcop.

ipcop is good too. either one. smoothwall probably has enough features for the normal user tho...

hi,

thanks you very much to all..

bye
