This project claim to offer a full proxy structure based on Squid Proxy Cache 3.3x or above.
This new powerfull Squid Cache branch provide SMP support (multiple-processor) that increase dramatically performances.
The appliance is fully compatible with VMWare ESXi , VMWare Workstation and Promox
The objective of these appliances is to build your own proxy structure including :

URL/Content Filtering

On-box URL database maximizes performance and flexibility.
URL filtering is enabled through an on-box, 28M+, divided across 150 categories.
The on-box database ensures maximum, inline performance and minimal latency.
Flexible policies can be implemented to control employee and network activity.

	Select from 150 categories and more than 28M+ sites or create a custom list through block lists.
	Specify group-based web browsing policies with a local/remote LDAP Database or Microsoft Active Directory connection.
	SSL decryption policies by allowing encrypted access to specific web sites such as health, finance and shopping while decrypting traffic to all other sites such as blogs, forums, and entertainment.
