Re: Security Proxy ??

Are you speaking about SSL proxy (named Security Proxy in Netscape proxy
configuration panel)?

If you are, then yes, squid is able of being a security proxy (unless
the relevant lines is removed from the config file).

The advantages is:
* The possibility to use Squid in a firewall situation where Squid is
the only allowed to go throught the firewall.
* More balanced use of the outgoing link, since all traffic is generated
by a single machine with a good TCP/IP implementation.
