How the Proxy works?

Hey IP-Fire Community,

I had some problems with my Proxy but thanks to the very good documentation on the IP-Fire i had it under control.

After the Upgrade to 183/184 i had some Proxy/squid Problems.

Under command in shell Squid -k parse there seems all fine.

But no sites will open after a while after reboot.

After it reached the maximum Bytes of Cache, then no sites wanted to open anymore.

After I put the recommendation in the Documentation of IP-Fire it helps. →

Can someone explain why it is so? I think because when the cache gets full then the squid no longer accepts to open any sites anymore.

Is there a good Documentation that helps me to understand it better how it works and where i can find the Documentation?
How the data is processed?

And what this and more points mean? Some of this i understand but not all. Maybe there is a good link what explains all this. →

Maybe it wasn’t this Problem. Maybe something of my fault?

Thanks Sergio
