You can configure the (very badly named) "offline_mode" setting to "on".

What that will do is aggressively cache everything no matter how stale
or old. Note that this takes a fair amount of cache space, unless this
proxy is for personal use its unlikely that 300MB is going to be enough
and possibly not even then (its only a few thousand "pages").
 It was primarily intended for use in reverse-proxies as preparation for
a maintenance outage of the backend web server.

Even wth that what you ask is still not entirely possible for most of
todays Internet websites. Almost all of them require some form of
dynamic/live operation to work properly. What I would expect to see when
offline and fetching solely from the proxy cache is that many pages
appear blank, and they do show up have a mix of missing styles, broken
links, non-working "clickables", and some empty sections of display.
