Installing squid on windows:

Earlier we had installed squid on Linux. Now we are installing squid on windows.

You can download squid binary package from here

Extract the content of zip file in c:\
Now you should have squid directory in c: drive. So now you can see c:\squid directory
Now go to c:\squid\etc via windows explorer and edit squid.conf file

Minimal configuration should be:
visible_hostname hostname
acl myusers src 192.168.1.0/24
http_access allow myusers

Preparing squid

In command prompt
type:
#cd c:\squid\sbin #squid -z

It should create swap directories

Fire your web browser and put proxy setting as 127.0.0.1 and port as 3128

To run squid and launched it automatically run following

#cd c:\squid\sbin #squid -i -n squid -O "-D"

Now run the service
#net start squid
