I need to prepare a squid proxy server for my company. We have a new fiber connection (100 mbit) and I need to give access with user and pass, speed up navigation with caching and do a little web filtering. The only thing that I would really care about is correctly sizing the proxy's hardware because I do not want it to be our new connection's bottleneck.

I'd prefer to spend the lowest possible but I'd appreciate hints about what I really should get:

Ram? Cpu? Fast disk? Gigabit ethernet?

Thanks to anybody who'll help.

  • Are you sure you need a squid server with a 100 mbit connection? proxy hits are pretty minimal and your connection is so fast anyway. I would just pursue the web filtering route if that is needed. Not much hardware is needed there. Mar 27, 2011 at 5:53
  • So I'd just need authentication and web filtering... What kind of hardware would be good, then?
