Hello, My question is rather general. We are moving a web application to our DMZ and I need to find a server/service that will allow the oracle database queries to be transmitted encrypted through the firewall then sent to the Oracle server. It seems like squid could be the solution. Does anyone have any experience using squid in this way? Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help.
