I would like assistance in configuring squid 2.7 for Windows 7. When my Internet connection goes down (my ethernet cable or my modem gets disconnected), Squid terminates by itself. It is easy to restart the service, but I can't help regretting that I lose my in-memory cache and ip cache each time. Reviewing my log, I notice that exactly one of the following two things happen. I would like advice on how to prevent squid from shutting down. 1.
