Squid - Squidguard replaced by Varnish/Danguardian?
-
So I have been running squid and squidguard for quite a while. It's been running not too bad, but I do notice some issues on some sites (some youtube pages get a looping preview window). I've been hoping a squid 3 update may one day come out and possibly fix the issues.
I now see a whole bunch of great packages come out.
Could someone give me their feedback on the packages.Squid 3. Looks like a reverse proxy version of squid. Does it run on normal cache mode? Does it work with squidguard?
Varnish. Does it run in transparent mode?Does anyone have varnish/danguardian working nicely as a transparent proxy and filtering?
Any feedback is appreciate. I'll have to setup a vm and play. Right now all these setups seem overwhelming :)

It runs on both modes.

Varnish is a http reverse proxy with caching, you point your dns record to it's ip and it does balance,fail over,reducer server load, etc.
You can configure it to act as a proxy server but it's designed to reverse proxy, so AFAIK no transparent support for it.

I do as proxies only. Transparent proxy do only http filtering leaving https 'free'. A WPAD/PAC configuration is more secure this way.
