Selecting A Proxy Server

If you want to setup a proxy server you will need one of these packages.

1. Squid
2. The TIS Firewall Toolkit (FWTK)
3. SOCKS

Squid is a great package and works with Linux's Transparent Proxy feature. I will be describing how to setup this server.

AT the time of this writing, Network Associates and Trusted Information System's (TIS) , have merged. So keep watching their web sites for more information about changes. Mean while, the Tool Kit can still be had at. http://www.tis.com/research/software/

Trusted Information System put out a collection of programs designed to facilitate firewalling. With this toolkit, you set up one daemon for each service (WWW, telnet ect.) you will be using.
