+== The Squid Proxy Server ==

 What benefits one may get from using an anonymous proxy server? Well, I would say many things but the most important one is that you can browse the web anonymously without exposing your IP, location etc.. out there. Anyhow, even though I usually use OpenVPN or PPTP for safe browsing and such things, having a private anonymous proxy server in your toolbox is a nice thing.
 Furthermore, a cache is speeding up you daily internet connection with repeating objects getting out of the cache instead of downloading it again. Advanced filtering technics (Antivirus, Content, Ad-Blocks, etc) are also possible.
