Browsing Speed

September 7th, 2006, 1:08 am

Hello Sir,

I have using 6 Machines.
Redhat Linux 9.0 – 1 Machine (180.100.100.10/255.255.0.0)
Windows 2000 Professional – 5 Machines (180.100.100.10 – 14 /255.255.0.0)

In Linux Machine Modem (ISDN Connection) and Squid Proxy was configured and working properly.
The 5 Machines are browsing using Linux Machine Squid Proxy.

My question is

I want to increase the internet browsing speed in a particular machine.
For example machine 3 (180.100.100.12/255.255.0.0) Internet speed is faster than Machine 4 (180.100.100.13/255.255.0.0).

Whether if this features or settings are available in squid proxy?

Or How to increase internet speed in a particular machine? Any Idea.

Another one question is

I want to see what websites are browsing in a particular machine?

Whether if this features or settings are available in squid proxy?

Or How to see in Linux server? Any Idea.

Please reply.

Thank You
A.Kannan

that may have to be checked from the router/modem/hub or whatever you have thru the proxy and for the monitoring, go get a monitoring sofftware, such as activity monitor, Im not sure if theres a version for linux, but you can always check under repositories... goodluck!

You can setup squid to cache the majority of the sites you visit and then use that as a proxy. It's not really "increasing" the speed per se but it will seem a bit faster.

Also yes, squid can keep logs if you'd like it to. Check the .conf file.
