[edit] Squid Guard

Squid Guard is censorware, not Squid, however it does not have an article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Midnightcomm (talk • contribs) 00:07, 17 January 2006.

You're right. I'm removing that category. I have a squidGuard article brewing. Gskuse 06:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Judgmental IPv6 statement

"However,the lack of IPv6 support, even as of 2006 in any official versions of Squid is a glaring omission."---This is judgmental and out of place in an encyclopaedia. One might lower in the article say that "the lack of such-and-such has been viewed as a glaring omission"; for the time being I'll simply alter it to "However, even the most recent official version of Squid lacks IPv6 support." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.77.12 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 28 July 2006.

The development version (3.0) includes initial support for IPv6, I've edited accordingly. Gskuse 06:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technology

How many gigabytes can it store on its hard drive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.59.102.57 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 30 July 2006.

[edit] Privacy concerns

Squid can violate people's privacy. It has anonymising features etc. etc. which the admin can enable if that's what the admin wants. It also has logging features, which can be useful, and/or they can be use to track users' browsing habits - without the user knowing that any logging is happening, and without the user knowing what logging is possible. This can't be ignored in the article. Gronky 00:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Squidrunner

The link to "Squidrunner" looks rather like link-spam to me. Is it seriously worth inclusion? ~hugo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.101.108.218 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 29 November 2006.
