I have installed squid3.1.19 and divert all traffic from our network to proxy server from mikrotik router. mikrotik router is the final gateway for our network. After I configure squid, internet connection for our network becomes very very slow. How do I solve this problem.
I have updated squid to 3.3.4 version and followed this link to tune up squid but no use.
Right now I have commented out all that I have done by above given link, there is no cache as well, squid acting as anonymous proxy not cache proxy but no luck no improvement in speed.
System Details
OS: Ubuntu server 12.04.
RAM: 1 GB + 256 MB.
HardDisk: 80 GB.
Processor: Pentium 4, 2.40Gz.
Squid: version 3.3.4.
EDIT:
- Loading web page is pretty slow.
- When I set cache in squid, initially it used 17M. I have checked by
du -sh /var/spool/squid3
. I checked next day it was still used 17M after one day internet usage. so basically cache wasn't working properly then I had to comment all cache related lines insquid.conf
since I decided to have only anonymous proxy. - We are 8 people in our network. so 8 people's traffic pass over proxy.
- We have internet speed at 2Mbps. We had good internet connection with this 2Mbps when there was no proxy server.
- Speedtest.net result is in error. always ask me for
TryAgain
free -m
I see 800-850 MB is always free and it is IDE HDD.
