Squid Configurations

piforever · 08-09-2007, 05:43 PM

Hi,

I used Webmin to configure Squid, I used the default settings. The clients can see the web so everything is fine. But I have some questions:

I have 20 PCs connected to my squid proxy, so what are the recommendations regarding the cache? Can I have 60GB cache? Are their any memory limitations?
Squid is accepting connections from certain IPs, yet I would like to make iptables rules. My proxy port is 8000; shall I allow all IN tcp/udp or just tcp? Are there any security concerns related to allowing udp traffic?
Do you have any thoughts/recommendations that will help in improving/securing the proxy?

Thnx in advance,

60 gb seems to be evry much enuf, rather i would have assigned only 1gb of space
