Good day
I am new to networking, please I have the following

  1. Pc installed ClearOS operating system I want to use as cache (web Cache) 1TB Hard drive
  2. I have a routeboard 450G (5 ports)
  3. I have WLAN (3 Nos of 120 deg Sectorial antenna) with RB 433AH (Outdoor AP)
  4. 48 Ports cisco 2950 switch

Question:
what do I need to do (step by step) to achieve LAN & WLAN connecting to the pc (web server) to fetch cached pages, then to the modem. Please, help,

Assuming my network (ISP) info are as follows:

122.213.89.92/30
Gateway = 122.213.89.93
DNS = 90.152.0.4
DNS 2 = 90.152.0.5

If you want all of the work done for you, you should hire a consultant and pay them accordingly.

Thanks a lot, I have my LAN and WLAN setup already, but they are not passing through the Proxy Server (Web Cache), please, advice me on how to set this up, what proxy softwares (web cache) do you prefer.

Thanks

I like Squid.

Nice, The ClearOS is working with Squid as the web cache, my greatest concern is how to make my local network pass through the squid and return back.

PLease Help. You can offer some other means if my concept is not easy to setup or good enough

Same concept, but you add an IP address to the redirection:

ip firewall nat add in-interface=ether1 dst-port=80 protocol=tcp action=redirect to-ports=8080 chain=dstnat

becomes

ip firewall nat add in-interface=ether1 dst-port=80 protocol=tcp action=redirect to-ports=PROXY_PORT to-address=PROXY_IP chain=dstnat
