Squid proxy is a popular caching and forwarding HTTP proxy server that acts as an intermediary between clients and web servers. It enables efficient caching of web content, improves browsing performance, and provides various features for network administrators to manage and control internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By installing and configuring Squid proxy on an Ubuntu 22.04 system, you gain the ability to cache frequently accessed web content, reducing bandwidth usage and improving response times for subsequent requests. Additionally, Squid proxy offers features such as access control, content filtering, and user authentication. This allows you to enforce policies and restrictions for internet access within your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article not only walks you through the installation process of Squid proxy on Ubuntu 22.04 but also provides instructions for remote access. This means you can send your devices traffic to the proxy server from a remote location granting you accessibility and security from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, understanding how to install and remotely access Squid proxy on Ubuntu 22.04 empowers you to optimize your network&#8217;s performance, enhance security, and efficiently manage internet access for your organization or personal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update and Upgrade Ubuntu 22.04<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1-1024x311.jpg\" alt=\"update and upgrade ubuntu 22.04\" class=\"wp-image-1327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1-1024x311.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1-768x233.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1-1536x466.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-update-and-upgrade-1.jpg 1545w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing we will need to do to install Squid Proxy is update and upgrade your system. Run the apt update and apt upgrade command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install Squid Proxy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-install-packages-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"install squid and apache2-utils\" class=\"wp-image-1328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-install-packages-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-install-packages-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-install-packages-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-install-packages.jpg 1074w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing we need to do is install Squid proxy and Apache utilities. The utilities package will allow us to create a password authentication file for authentication our proxy users. Use the apt command below to install the two packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo apt install squid apache2-utils<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Credential File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"198\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-touch-and-chmod-passwords-file-1024x198.jpg\" alt=\"touch and create squid passwords file\" class=\"wp-image-1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-touch-and-chmod-passwords-file-1024x198.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-touch-and-chmod-passwords-file-300x58.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-touch-and-chmod-passwords-file-768x148.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-touch-and-chmod-passwords-file.jpg 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we will create a passwords file and assign the correct permissions. Squid will read this file to authenticate our proxy users. Use the below command to touch and chmod the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo touch \/etc\/squid\/passwords &amp;&amp; sudo chmod 777 \/etc\/squid\/passwords<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create Authentication User<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"219\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-create-user-and-pass-1024x219.jpg\" alt=\"create user and password\" class=\"wp-image-1330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-create-user-and-pass-1024x219.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-create-user-and-pass-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-create-user-and-pass-768x164.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-create-user-and-pass.jpg 1074w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next create the proxy authentication user with the htpasswd command. Replace &#8220;username&#8221; with the username you want to use for logging into the proxy. After you run the command you will be asked to type and retype the password you wish to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>sudo htpasswd -c \/etc\/squid\/passwords username<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"198\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-test-auth-file-1024x198.jpg\" alt=\"test the authentication file\" class=\"wp-image-1331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-test-auth-file-1024x198.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-test-auth-file-300x58.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-test-auth-file-768x148.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-test-auth-file.jpg 1072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can test our proxy authentication file with the basic_ncsa_auth command. Run the following command and confirm you get &#8220;OK&#8221; as shown in the above image. This means that the credential file is configured properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>\/usr\/lib\/squid\/basic_ncsa_auth \/etc\/squid\/passwords<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backup Squid Config<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"218\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-backup-config-1024x218.jpg\" alt=\"backup the original squid config\" class=\"wp-image-1332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-backup-config-1024x218.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-backup-config-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-backup-config-768x163.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formatswap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-backup-config.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After we create our credentials file we need to make a backup of the squid config.

With this configuration you will only be able to access your proxy from within the local network. If you want to access the proxy remotely skip to the next optional step.
