Hey Alex, Do you think an ubuntu "squid" binary would be fit for such a use case? IE replacing only the /usr/sbin/squid binary from another source? For my simple usage (A simple forward proxy) on Ubuntu I am installing squid from the repo and then just replace the squid binary. I remember that there was someone that maintains squid repo for Ubuntu and maybe Debian but I don't remember who it was. Maybe it was it Raphael from diladele?

Please upgrade to Squid v5.7 or later. Squid v5.2 is just too buggy to be usable in most production environments (and to investigate any performance problems). >> Any errors or warnings in cache.log? > *WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors* There are known Squid v5.2 bugs that may result in the above warnings and related performance degradation. I hope that these problems will be gone, and your Squid performance will be acceptable after you upgrade. Good luck, Alex. > On Wed, Nov 30, 2022 at 6:12 PM Alex Rousskov wrote: > > On 11/30/22 16:57, utb trialuser wrote: > > Hello, I'm running a basic Squid setup on the latest version of > Ubuntu. > > Could you help me figure out why when 15 people connect to my > proxy it > > starts degrading and websites start to take really long to load? > > According to the log file, connections take up to 300000ms to > load when > > this happens.
