The Squid proxy server is one of the most popular solutions, especially in larger networks. It can cache transferred data and therefore reduce the Internet connection speed requirements. Imagine that ten computers want to connect to our Alza server. Without the Squid proxy server turned on, each computer would have to completely download our landing page including the images. However, if the proxy is set correctly, the data will be stored in the cache on the router and then downloaded to other computers. This solution can greatly save transferred data and speed up the loading of specific websites.
