How do i know WanProxy is working?

[Tiernan O'Toole]

Thanks again Juli.

I turned off SSH and am going direct to the machine... things seem to be working well, again, VM may be the limiting factor. Going to try setup a more powerful machine and see if that makes a difference.

Again, thanks for your help!

Hi Tieman,

That sounds like a good setup; I don't have any suggestions on
improving it off the top of my head.  If you're using a VM, you may
want to try without using SSH to tunnel the WANProxy connections,
since SSH's encryption could be a limiting factor if you're CPU-bound.

Thanks,
Juli.

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...
