Just works! - Version: 2.0, 2/7/2009 11:36PM PST

A while back I came across and old PPC Mac Mini. After getting it working on 10.4, I wondered what it might do for my network. One role it's now filling nicely is as a web proxy.

I installed squidman and in a couple of clicks squid was configured to run automatically at boot with the preferences I needed. I have a lot of machines on my home network and having squid saves a lot of bandwidth, and speeds up system updates and other large downloads. I later added webmin, and vine server and it's a near perfect headless all-around server.

Absolutely troublefree installation of Squid on your computer or server. I installed this on 2 servers; one of which is now linked to the other, since it connects over a wireless connection accross a street. Easy to install and easy to modify.

This app has saved me hours of download time when doing the updates on about 30 Macs in our school.

Highly recommended!

First, does this work with Server? Also, I would very much like to see automatically updating Squid Guard also packaged with this. That would really make this spectacular. It would also be nice to make it configurable through this interface, but integration first would be a wonderful start.
