• Extrack file yang sudah di download di C:\squid
• Sesuaikan konfigurasi file di c:\squid\etc\squid.conf

File ini disalin saja dari c:\squid\etc\squid.conf.default
Untuk parameter apa saja yang disesuaikan bisa lihat disini:

Prinsip dasar yang disetup yaitu :
(dengan cara mencari kata kunci di file squid.conf dan dihapus tanda # dan disesuaikan nilainya)

# alamat portnya
- http_port 800
# Jika dibelakang proxy, tentukan proxy induknya
- cache_peer IP_PROXY_UII       parent    800  0 no-query no-netdb-exchange no-digest
# tentukan alamat komputer client, misal 192.168.0.2 mask 255.255.255.0 & localhost
- acl mylan src 192.168.0.0/24
- http_access allow mylan
- http_access allow localhost
- http_access deny all

# Jika dibelakang proxy, tambahkan baris ini
- never_direct allow all

• Buat cache direktorynya

c:\squid\sbin\squid.exe -D -z

• Jalankan squid

c:\squid\sbin\squid.exe
apabila dibelakang proxy atau tidak ada DNS server, maka bisa dengan
c:\squid\sbin\squid.exe -D
apabila ada kesalahan atau gagal start, pesan kesalahan dituliskan di c:\squid\var\logs

• Ujicoba di browser, apakah sudah bisa

Jangan lupa seting proxy server ke alamat squid diinstall dan portnya disesuaikan juga (800)

• Tuning agar squid kerja sesuai keinginan
• Install squid agar jalan otomatis sebagai service di windows c:\squid\sbin\squid.exe -i

Usage: squid [-hirvzCDFRYX] [-d level] [-s | -l facility] [-f config-file] [-u port] [-k signal] [-n name] [-O command-line]
-d level  Write debugging to stderr also.
-f file   Use given config-file instead of c:/squid/etc/squid.conf
-h  Print help message.
-i  Installs as a Windows Service (see -n option).
-k reconfigure|rotate|shutdown|interrupt|kill|debug|check|parse . Parse configuration file, then send signal to running copy (except -k parse) and exit.
-n name   Specify Windows Service name to use for service operations default is: Squid.
-r  Removes a Windows Service (see -n option).
-s | -l facility Enable logging to syslog.
-u port   Specify ICP port number (default: 3130), disable with 0.
-v        Print version.
-z        Create swap directories
-C        Do not catch fatal signals.
-D        Disable initial DNS tests.
-F        Don’t serve any requests until store is rebuilt.
-N        No daemon mode.
-O options
Set Windows Service Command line options in Registry.
-R        Do not set REUSEADDR on port.
-S        Double-check swap during rebuild.
-X        Force full debugging.
-Y        Only return UDP_HIT or UDP_MISS_NOFETCH during fast reload.

Selamat mencoba dan sukses selalu
