[plug] Forward http proxy cache

[Paul Del]

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for some advice  with regards to a fast simple http forward
proxy cache in open source.
Some background. Yes I have google'd to try and find benchmarks and
installed a number of http and https forward proxies for testing on debian
and ubuntu servers.

The requirement is to make the internet faster when clients use http and
https on small networks 20 people or less using NBN FTTN 50Mb or less in
regional areas.
Note I will install Pihole in conjunction with to cache DNS requests and
block unwanted ads etc.
Note The requirements to cache and improve response times for web browsing
http https. The most they download is a small amount of email.
I will be using a dedicated server so hardware and resources will not be an
issue 4-8 cores 8-16GB ram 2-4 gige nics with SSD's

I would like something fast. I am a fan of Tinyproxy and Squid but have
also used Privoxy and Polipo.

I leaning towards a solution with Tinyproxy and Privoxy with Pihole FTLDNS

I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, advice of any kind.

Thanking you Paul
