How to test Squid to see if its doing its job?
-
hi all,
Followed this guide http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setup_Squid_as_a_Transparent_Proxy to set it up but
when I open large image from one computer ie. from here http://www.shadedrelief.com/natural3/pages/textures.html
when I go to other computer it still takes same time to load it again?
I was wondering is there any other way to test if its doing what it suppose to?Thanks!

Increase memory cache too.
to see if it was a cache hit or a cache miss, do a tail -f on squid log
tail -f /var/squid/logs/access.log

Doing above command does nothing since file is empty.
So that tells me something is not right.I'm on v2.0.1-RELEASE.
My test with the pictures should load same picture on other computer almost instantly?
Do you guys have any other solutions?Thanks in advance for taking the time to help!

So change gui option to match your current dir.
If gui points to a dir that does not exists, maybe your problem is there.
