There are big things afoot here and we’ll soon have a Tier 1 connection to the internet.
I need to install a transparent proxy server just before we break out onto the internet.
There is a very good wiki regarding this, so I know exactly how to configure mikrotik to route all the http traffic to the transparent proxy.
My question is this:
Do I go with Linux and Squid or do I go with RouterOS 5.6?
What are the pros and cons of each?
Whichever operating system I choose, the machine itself will be running Corsair’s new Force Sata3 120GB SSD to read and write the cache files to with probably 4GB of RAM.
