squid for newbie
Hi Vivek and team,
I run an education centre for about 45 students. I have 50 machines, 5 of which I use as servers. One is a DHCP server (FC5) while the others run some content management tools. I have a windows xp machine which hosts a 2 Mbps ADSL connection from BSNL. I want to share this connection across LAN for the students. I have some questions which need to be answered before I can proceed: 1. Currently I am using Analog X proxy tool to share internet across LAN. Can I use squid here or should I just forward packets from LAN interface to Internet Interface ? 2. Can squid be hosted on a machine (Linux) other than the internet gateway machine (Xp)? 3. Can I use Bittorrent through squid? 4 .What other things should I keep in mind while sharing internet across LAN? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am a complete newbie to networking and server stuff, so please bear with me. Thanks. /raghuram

squid for newbie
thank you Vivek. That sure did clear up some lingering doubts. As for security, how do I ensure that my boxen are safe, especially the squid/Linux Router box?

Basically you need to install iptables based firewall and only run required services.
