OpenBSD : Installing Squid

If you don't know what is squid, please don't think that it's a normal squid that live in the sea!

Squid is a web proxy / web caching for your gateway/router.

The purpose is to cache image,css,js etc that can reduce your router's workload by supplying to the browser directly from your proxy. This can reduce waiting time and make your browsing more fast.

Installing


# pkg_add -i squid
Ambiguous: choose package for squid
 a       0:
         1: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15
         2: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ldap
         3: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ldap-snmp
         4: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ntlm
         5: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-snmp
Your choice: 1


squid-2.7.STABLE9p15: ok                                                                                                                                                        
The following new rcscripts were installed: /etc/rc.d/squid
See rc.d(8) for details.
Look in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes for extra documentation.
# /etc/rc.d/squid
usage: /etc/rc.d/squid [-df] {start|check|reload|restart|stop}

Yey, now your OpenBSD box will serve as a web proxy :)

Configuration file:
/etc/squid/squid.conf

Transparent Proxy:
http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 transparent

Squid with pf:
pass in quick log inet proto tcp to port 80 divert-to 127.0.0.1 port 3128

Building a KVM Proxy

Traditionally we seldomly connect our KVM from the port directly to the server that consists of usb for keyboard and mouse, vga cable for display purposes. More advanced you may have an experience using the iKVM which connect all you kvm port from the internet where you can have a remote location as long as you have the internet connection. When technology evolve, physical server are becoming obsolete since we have the virtualization technology. Since that to access your virtual machine (vm) are more easier. Instead of using SSH, like a Xen hypervisor, the Xen itself can host as a KVM server and map to the vm on different port as configured from the config file.
