[squid-users] Warm cold times

[Jonathan Lee]

Has anyone else taken up the fun challenge of doing windows update caching. It is amazing when it works right. It is a complex configuration, but it is worth it to see a warm download come down that originally took 30 mins instantly to a second client. I didn’t know how much of the updates are the same across different vendor laptops. 

Amazing stuff Squid team.
I wish I could get some of the Roblox Xbox stuff to cache but it’s a night to get running with squid in the first place, I had to splice a bunch of stuff and also wpad the Xbox system.

I have this fear it could be sitting on any cache and actually data marshal the system from inside the cache. Again with use of software fingerprinting we should know if that occurs right?

Today they can be used to cache invasive containers and block them essentially this could be a massive tool in cyber security defenses. Again how can we fingerprint invasive docker images containers, non approved bsd jails etc??
