Publisher's Description
From Tony Gray:
SquidMan is a Mac OS X graphical installer and manager for the Squid proxy cache. It is designed to operate as a "personal" proxy server. When you run Squid on a MacOS X computer, it can:
- cache downloaded content, reducing network traffic and improving browsing performance on slow links
- act as a proxy server for other computers on your subnet
- restore the operation of many MacOS X system services that normally fail through authenticated proxy servers, such as Software Update
What's new in this version: The only change between this and the previous version 3.0 is that the bundled version of Squid has been upgraded to 3.1.12. This version has been tested on Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger, on both Intel and PPC hardware.

"Great security software"

Works behind the scenes requiring almost no administering once setup

Summary
Works in the background speeding up your internet experience and saving your bandwidth. I proxy the kids computers (PC, Mac and Linux work) so I can find out where they go when I am "not looking."

"Excellent App"
Version: SquidMan 1.8
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Absolutely troublefree installation of Squid on your computer or server. I installed this on 2 servers; one of which is now linked to the other, since it connects over a wireless connection accross a street. Easy to install and easy to modify.
This app has saved me hours of download time when doing the updates on about 30 Macs in our school.
Highly recommended! -
"Invisible proxies"
Version: SquidMan 1.52
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I use squdidman behind a Uni firewall. I have a squid network settings location, this allows software update and a number of proxy unfriendly system tasks to work.
I have had no problem setting squidman up or using it. Used 1.1 and now use 1.52. -
"Works"
Version: SquidMan 1.52
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Works! A little better than past versions. On initial loads it (and this may be squid in general) is at least as fast as native browsing and cached items are much faster. Thanks!
I'd like to see dansguardian and the http_accel features added if possible. -
"Revision"
Version: SquidMan 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Tony Gray:
You're right. The program I was thinking of is Squid Manager, not SquidMan. This program is the superior of the two.
I sorted out my issue by deleting the .plist file for SquidMan and starting it again. It works fine now. It compliments Privoxy nicely. Between the two, I have a fast and private surfing experience.
