+
+# Purpose & Overview
+
+Forward proxy to avoid websites IP bans.<br>
+
+* [Official](http://www.squid-cache.org/)
+* [Github](https://github.com/squid-cache/squid)
+
+Caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy.<br>
+Main use here is being able to access web pages from a different IP than 
+your own in a comfortable way.
+
+Squid is written in C++.
+
+# Hosting
+
+Free oracle cloud instance can be used.<br>
+[Detailed setup guide here.](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/free_cloud_hosting_VPS)
+
+# Files and directory structure
+
+```
+/home/
+└── ~/
+    └── docker/
+        └── squid/
+            ├── 🗋 docker-compose.yml
+            └── 🗋 squid.conf
+```              
+* `docker-compose.yml` - a docker compose file, telling docker how to run the container
+* `squid.conf` - main configuration files for squid
+
+# Compose
+
+`docker-compose.yml`
+```yml
+services:
+  squid:
+    image: ubuntu/squid
+    container_name: squid
+    hostname: squid
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "56566:56566"
+    volumes:
+      - ./squid.conf:/etc/squid/squid.conf
+      - ./squid_cache:/var/spool/squid    
+```
+
+# squid.conf
+
+Minimal config that works.<br>
+
+For running in docker `max_filedescriptors 1048576` is required, prevents error:<br>
+*FATAL: xcalloc: Unable to allocate 1073741816 blocks of 432 bytes
+squid cache terminated abnormally*
+
+`squid.conf`
+```php
+max_filedescriptors 1048576
+http_port 56566
+http_access allow all
+```
+
+Linux curl command can test if reverse proxy works.
+
+`curl -x http://666.6.66.6:56566 -L http://archlinux.org`
+
+# More configuration
+
+For security I use firewall that allows in connections only from one public IP.
+Or I would be using VPN. So not much interest in security acl and authorization config.
+
+Also no interest in caching.
+So this is just some config with some headers turned off for maybe better hiding
+of the real IP.
+
+`squid.conf`
+```php
+max_filedescriptors 1048576
+http_port 56566
+http_access allow all
+
+cache deny all
+visible_hostname squidproxy
+
+forwarded_for delete
+via off
+follow_x_forwarded_for deny all
+request_header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all
+```

+
+# Usage
+
+FoxyProxy Standard - got version on firefox and chrome.
+
+In config one can setup ip and port and it works.<br>
+But it also has pattern section where url wildcard can be set and proxy is applied
+only on those sites.
+
+# Update
+

+- `docker compose pull`</br>
