Because I can't see any security benefit... At some points you can consider Squid as an application firewall, and setup some rules like: acl badip src 192.168.0.100 http_access deny badip acl badsite referer_regex -i qq.com http_access deny badsite acl badconn maxconn 20 http_access deny badconn acl badbrow browser -i Sosospider http_access deny badbrow Those may help improve some security,but it depends... Squid is just a cache, if you don't need the cache feature, you may not want to use it. -- Jeff Peng Email: jeffpeng@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: compuperson
