Complete Guide on Installing and Configuring Squid Proxy Server for Windows

Heres another guide again by me to configure / installing Squid Cache Proxy to be an Anonymous Proxy Server and filtering some ads / banners (on Windows not Linux since most Linux users already know about this) :)

First download Squid 2.6 Stable 1 for Windows from Acme-Consulting and dont forget to extract it into a
directory of your choice, and Download JAP from here. And as a note, i wrote this tutorial using Squid 2.6 Stable 1 so if youre using Squid 2.5 series theres some parameters youll need to change first in order for it to work

Note: in this tutorial ill use G:\Squid as the Squid Directory

After extracting it into G:\Squid, go into etc directory G:\Squid\etc and rename all the .default file
into .conf file. For example squid.conf.default -> squid.conf, mime.conf.default -> mime.conf, etc Open squid.conf file using your favorite text editor such as Notepad, Ultraedit, etc. and configure it like this (you can change it later) :) but im not going into more detail here since most squid configuration are self explanatory and thats depending on your hardware too (for example the memory size, cache size, etc). But you can always use this squid.conf directly in your squid configuration without changing any of its parameter as long as you extract squid into G:\Squid directory otherwise youll need to change every parameter that include G:\squid into your squid path # HTTP Port (in this tutorial squid will run on localhost at port 3128) http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 # ICP Port and HTCP Port (well disable this since we are not going to use it) icp_port 0 htcp_port 0 # Cache Peer (well forward all request into parent proxy) cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 4001 7 no-query # Cache directory (in this example i was using 3000 MB / 3 GB space to store squid cache) cache_dir awin32 g:/squid/var/cache 3000 16 256 # access_log access_log g:/squid/var/logs/access.log squid # cache_log cache_log g:/squid/var/logs/cache.log # cache_store_log cache_store_log none # mime_table mime_table g:/squid/etc/mime.conf # pid_filename pid_filename g:/squid/var/logs/squid.pid # unlinkd_program unlinkd_program g:/squid/libexec/unlinkd.exe # refresh_pattern (you can configure this as you like it, to get more hits from a website) # note: if you change this parameter refresh_pattern . 1 100% 20160 reload-into-ims ignore-reload into something else for

Now the next step would be running JAP, configure browsers to use Squid Proxy and start squid and youre finished . ;)
