So with your help, I now have squid running and it seems to be doing ok. I'm not yet sure what to expect in terms of speed but in quick tests so far; site 1- From 8.8 to 4.2 site 2 - From 4.6 to 4.9 site 3 - From 13.8 to 6.6 site 4 - From 2.3 to 2 site 5 - From 13.3 to 9 site 6 - From 24.3 to 13 site 7 - From 19.4 to 8.5 site 8 - From 6.0 to 5.2 site 9 - From 16.3 to 7.7 site 10 - From 15.7 to 8.1 site 11 - From 9.7 to 5.7 Cannot thank you enough for helping me to get this going. And from what you've told me, it is secure so now that I have a working config, I can start learning about each variable and go from there I think.
