How do i know WanProxy is working?

[Tiernan O'Toole]

Hi Juli. 

Thanks for the reply. I tried the downloading the same file twice option in two different browsers, and I seem to be getting some speed increese... It may be my vm that's slowing things down, so I need to do some more tests. 

My environment is a vm on my laptop, running wanproxy, connecting to a vm in house over ssh. The wanproxy in house is forwarding to a squid proxy which is on a faster connection. Is there any tips or tricks to get squid and wanproxy working better? I just have the default settings from the example page in my config, just pointing at different ips and ports...

Thanks.
