Installing and Configuring Squid - Final Thoughts
(Page 4 of 4 )
All right, reaching this page means that shortly it will be time for us to say good-bye, but before we place the dot and end this article, let's stick close for another paragraph or two.
During this article you learned how to set up Squid under a Linux operating system. Then we summed up in a nutshell the main configuration needs, but those are by no means complete. It's just a minimal setup to run Squid.
There is extensive documentation available on how to configure Squid and what each tiny variable does. Other manuals cover security tips and explain how to fix the system by patching security vulnerability holes. These shouldn't be neglected either. Finally, another important factor to consider is tweaking the performance.
Some of the how-to guides are available in multiple languages. However, most importantly, you should deeply immerse yourself into the vast amount of configuration directives. And of course, check out this link for the categorized list of available options.
