Here are some more detailed instructions for installing Squid on Ubuntu:

  1. Log in to your Linux VPS as the root user.
  2. Install Squid using the following command:
sql
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install squid
  1. Once Squid is installed, edit the configuration file at /etc/squid/squid.conf using a text editor.
  2. In the configuration file, locate the “http_port” directive and set it to the port number you want to use. For example, to use port 8080, you would add the following line:
http_port 8080
  1. If you want to require authentication for your proxy server, add the following lines to the configuration file:
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd
auth_param basic realm proxy
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated
  1. Save the configuration file and restart the Squid service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart squid
