How To... |
The EnServe can provide a network-wide web-caching service. Instead of the browsers on every computer on your network storing their own copies of recently accessed files the EnServe can store copies of all files recently accessed by any computer on the network. The EnServe checks all requests for files on the WWW and if it has a copy of a requested file it sends the copy to the browser instead of spending time downloading it from the WWW. Sharing the stored files between all the computers on your network this way can significantly speed up web browsing.
There are two proxy Servers running on the system:
JunkBuster - this looks for 'adverts' and blocks them a long with some privacy controls. See the Ad Zapping FAQ for more details.
The proxies run on port 3128 for squid and 8000 for Junkbuster.
Setting the proxy is covered on more detail in the main EnServer User Manual
