Hi all,
I've put together a local proxy server product that I use to manage my meager 500mb 3G cap a bit better.
It's nothing else that Squid NT which was packaged up with a custom configuration tool.
Some of the features are:
Efficient and quick caching
Blacklists - To keep prying eyes from gaping crevices...
Three click configuration/reconfiguration
Multiple ISP support
The custom written config app makes reconfiguration a breeze, you select your ISP from the list, set your preferred options, and click on Configure.
The ISP section does nothing other than setting the DNS servers for the ISP, and a generic option that uses the OpenDNS servers is available for those that use unlisted ISP's.
The cache seems to work fine with everything BUT Internet Explorer, which doesn't surprise me at all, as you have to set the proxy server to your local machine (127.0.0.1 port 3128)
It also servers as a nice proxy for your LAN computers.
So my question to you, would you like for me to share the software? It won't help much in terms of LEGAL movies and music downloads, but for browsing it certainly makes a difference, and every meg saved is a meg gained.
