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

FreeBSD :- Nginx , PHP-FPM

One of my forum that I managed previously used Apache as a web server. From my observation Apache with PHP suck a lot of memory resources but that doesn't hang up the server. So google around and I found others using Apache as a proxy using reverse proxy. While Nginx serve as front end web server. The result is good! Nginx still using minimum memory usage! impressive :) But that's does not stop me from searching other solution that best for the forum, and I found solution for Nginx with PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager). Before that I've tried with spawn-fcgi but the process had died repeatedly. Not satisfied with that I've tried PHP-FPM ! Now stick with Nginx + PHP-FPM very satisfied! :)
