Yurindra, yang berjudul “PEMANFAATAN SQUID SEBAGAI WEB PROXY SERVER UNTUK MEMPERCEPAT KONEKSI INTERNET DAN PENGHEMATAN PEMAKAIAN BANDWIDTH” – issn 1979-9845
ABSTRACT
Web proxy caching is a way to store requested Internet objects (e.g. data like web pages) available via the HTTP, FTP, and Gopher protocols on a sistem closer to the requesting site. Web browsers can then use the local Squid cache as a proxy HTTP server, reducing access time as well as bandwidth consumption. This is often useful for Internet service providers to increase speed to their customers, and LANs that share an Internet connection. Because it is also a proxy (i.e. it behaves like a client on behalf of the real client), it can provide some anonymity and security. However, it also can introduce significant privacy concerns as it can log a lot of data including URLs requested, the exact date and time, the name and version of the requester’s web browser and operating sistem, and the referrer. A client program (e.g. browser) either has to specify explicitly the proxy server it wants to use (typical for ISP customers), or it could be using a proxy without any extra configuration: “transparent caching”, in which case all outgoing HTTP requests are intercepted by Squid and all responses are cached.
