A Proxy Server Question.

[Kuzunkhaa]

Hello community,
I'm not a great expert of networking, but OPNsense is a pleasure to learning and understand!

Anyway I have create a proxy with local cache and adblock (http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers) for my home, but seems have slowed down my internet connection and response time. I have tried to add "kern.ipc.nmbclusters" with value of "32768" and modified "vfs.read_max" to "128", because some suggest those options to improve "squid" performance, but seems do nothing.

Anyone can help me to understand how to improve the proxy speed?

The system have a Intel Celeron J1900, x4 NIC Intel WG82583, 8Gb DDRL3 1600Mhz and SSD 128Gb without swap.

The "Local Cache Settings" are:

• Memory Cache=4096
• Cache Size=32768
• first-level subdirectories=128
• second-level subdirectories=512
• Maximum object size=10

Another thing: what are "Via header" and "X-Forwarded for header handling" options?

Many thanks!

I have found good response to my questions on Wikipedia.

A question: the proxy cache store permanently file or every time I reboot the system it purge the cache?

Thanks.
