Hi Have installed Ubuntu 9.10 inside a sun Virtual Box on my machine and connected it up to the network fine, but when I configure squid.conf I run into issues. Using Squid 1.7 stable6 (Ubuntu packaged). I change the following; http_port 8080 visible_hostname squid.brighton.internal acl localnet src 10.218.164.0/22 http_access allow localnet cache_peer proxy1.equinoxsolutions.com parent 80 0 no-query no-digest the rest I leave as defaults. The issue I have is that when I connect through the upstream proxy I get the internet and a good speed, though squid is really bad. 2-3 mins to load up the bbc homepage/news page. Is there anything I need to do to do this correctly and how can i improve the speed of the setup (without going to a hardware box as I'm still testing atm).
