squid5 (net/squid5) Updated: 3 months ago Add to my watchlist
advanced proxy caching server for http, https, ftp, gopherSquid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Squid keeps metadata and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. Squid 5.x is the previous release series, and needs a C++11 compiler to build.

Ports that depend on "squid5"
lib (1)Port notes
Before starting squid5 for the first time, create the cache directories with:
${prefix}/sbin/squid -s -z --foreground
Squid 5.x is no longer the current release series. Migrating to Squid 6 is recommended. The squid5 port will be marked as replaced by squid in late 2024, at which point upgrading squid5 will automatically install squid. A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting squid5 with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
sudo port load squid5
