SquidMan overview

SquidMan is a graphical installer and GUI for the squid proxy cache for OS X. Squid can:

  • Cache downloaded content, reducing network traffic and improving browsing performance on slow links.
  • Act as a proxy server for other computers on your subnet.
  • And restore the operation of many OS X system services that normally fail through authenticated proxy servers, such as Software Update.

Great job! Download, install, configure - done! I am using squid to cache content behind Glimmerblocker for ad removal. We don't have a super high speed internet connection, but now everyone in the house has an ad free (mostly) accelerated internet browsing experience.

This I use on an off but I prefer polipo because it has some ad blocking. If squidman could incorporate some form of ad blocking that would make it number 1

I installed this to run a proxy through a VPN tunnel. It installs Squid for you and has a GUI. Free. Excellent.
