Squid configuration sanity check

[Alex K <rightkicktech@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I wanted to check with your accumulated wisdom the following squid configuration.

The config is working both for splice or bump (by commenting/uncommenting the respective line) using TPROXY. It is a config ported form an old installation of squid 3.1 for the new 3.5 and although I did some cleanup I am wondering if I am misusing any directive or missing any crucial one for better performance or just for sake of cleanliness.

At the moment for filtering I am using squidGuard and considering to go with ufdbGuard instead as pointed from Amos (thanx for that).
 

To avoid issues with some sites I am considering to use only splicing, although this has some caveats as bumping also does. I could go with a hybrid approach (splice some and bump all) but this sounds that this will cause periodically more administrative overhead to sort out the sites that need splicing.

The config has also some ACLs as an attempt to block media streaming by those seem to not work.

The hardware running the squid is somehow small with 4 GB of RAM, 4 CPU cores and 100 GB SSD in case one wonders.
