SPI - Squid Proxy Installer

A Squid proxy installer with username and password authentication


The Squid Proxy Installer (short: SPI) is a fully automated shell script to install an anonymous HTTP proxy based on Squid 3 with a username and password authentication through NCSA Auth and htpasswd. It requires no other input than your desired username and password. The default configuration listens on the default TCP port 3128!

SPI was written for the most common server Linux operating systems:

• CentOS 5/6/7
• Debian 6/7/8
• Ubuntu (most versions are supported)
• Fedora (most versions are supported)
• More OS on request

64 Bit versions of some operating systems require more than 256 MB RAM for Squid to work (this includes generally Debian and Ubuntu as a outcome of various tests in OpenVZ).


How to use:
