Linux web proxy
-
Hi, I used to learn Red Hat Linux version 9 and now I didn't continue to study it. At my work place I have a problem with my internet connection that over usage. As I have check with the document, I found that suse linux could be setup as a web proxy (squids) which could control and limit the amount of usage of internet. From here I would like to have a question as follow: 1. Is it possible for me to read only the chapter of setup and configure linux as web proxy? 2. Does the machine run as linux web proxy require one or two network interface card? 3. Do I need to read any additional document regarding to configure and monitoring linux web proxy? Thank in advance!!!

For questions 1 and 3: If you're familiar with Linux, yes, it's enough you read up the chapter on squid. I also found a simple tutorial here[^]. For question 2: Generally, you need two. One connects the proxy server to the local network. Another connects it to the internet, unless you're using an interface other than Ethernet.
