How to Install Squid on Windows 10

Squid is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy used by companies, ISPs, and home users. Squid is available for Linux and other Unix-like systems, as well as Windows.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

Installation Steps

Follow the steps below to install Squid on your Windows 10 machine:

  1. Go to the Squid download page and download the latest version of Squid for Windows. The filename will be something like squid-4.14-x86_64-w64-mingw32.zip.

  2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to C:\squid. You will need to create the C:\squid directory first, if it doesn't already exist.

  3. Open PowerShell with administrative rights by holding Shift and right-clicking on the Start menu, then selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

  4. Navigate to the C:\squid\sbin directory by running the command:

    cd C:\squid\sbin
    
  5. Install Squid as a Windows service by running the command:

    .\squid.exe -i install
    
  6. Start the Squid service by running the command:

    net start squid
    
  7. Verify that Squid is running by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost:3128/. If Squid is running, you should see a message that says "Access denied".

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Squid on your Windows 10 machine. You can now configure Squid by editing the configuration file located at C:\squid\etc\squid.conf.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
