Chaps,

im looking for a, if possible, free, low memory usage proxy server. i dont want tha filtering palava, just the caching...

the reason for the low memory is cuz my server is slow as fcuk, it just about meet min requirements...

btw: also a viral protection prog aswell, low mem requirements...

i heard you can do it part of the server by setting some groups or something, but im being lazy at the mo...

Cheek,

Look no further than Smoothwall.

 

top man!

now how about viral protection?

 

Cheek,

I assume it is a SOHO setup, with maybe 4 machines?
If so, it would be best to stick with the current AV on the machines and use Smoothwall for it's firewall and proxy facilities.
I have it installed on a PC here, just waiting to knock the NAT off my Zyxel DSL box to set up.

Si

 

Smoothwall is a Firewall product AFAIK it doesn't have a proxy feature.

If you can get hold of an eval CD of ISA (Internet security and acceleration server) you can set that up as just a proxy server if you wish.

 

the prob with ISA, is that i dont meet the system spec requirements

 

Boycey - you spying on me! seriously, i would stick with the AV on the server machine, but there is a problem.... there isn't any.

 

Express 2 does have a proxy utility Pete. See the screen capture below;

The beauty being, it will run (perfectly) on an old machine, compared to ISA.

 

Why don't you use Squid?

Its open source (so it meets your price requirement - i.e. free!) and isn't a nightmare to set up. There is a Windows port available from here and, to make your life even easier, a GUI-based install & config called Kraken

Squid rocks!

 

Well I never - thanks Simon, learning all the time

 

Zeb - squid was one of the first ones i looked at - i found documentation on the site, but not the download link... i would of thought it would be under stable, but couldnt see the link and that was with my glasses on

edit: found the bugger
