Hi all I have just installed squid 2.5.13 on my FreeBSD proxy. The problem is not a slow internet connection or a slow machine, so I hope someone here can help me. My conf: proxy# more squid.conf | grep -v # http_port 8080 icp_port 0 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl work_domains dstdomain 9_domains_listed acl pause_domains dstdomain 5_domains_listed acl arbejdstid time 08:00-16:00 acl pauser time 10:00-10:10 12:00-12:30 14:00-14:10 acl superbrugere ident Casper Anders Martin Pernille acl porte port 80 443 acl ftp proto ftp http_access allow superbrugere http_access deny ftp http_access deny !porte http_access deny CONNECT !porte http_access deny !arbejdstid http_access allow work_domains http_access allow pause_domains pauser http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all cache_mgr my@xxxxxxxxxxxx mail_from squid@xxxxxxxxx visible_hostname my.domain coredump_dir /usr/local/squid/cache ;--------------------------------------- This setup does work, but is insanely slow. I have tried different DNS servers, but with no luck. Best regards db
