Installation

Install SafeSquid Secure Web Gateway​

You can setup your secure web gateway using different installation mechanisms based on your deployment plan.

SafeSquid Appliance Builder (SAB) is a security-enhanced Ubuntu Linux ISO, customised for SafeSquid installation on any physical or virtual hardware within 15 minutes. SAB automatically configures dependency libraries, services, and custom partitioning. On booting from the SAB ISO, Ubuntu is automatically installed, and SafeSquid SWG is downloaded and deployed with all necessary dependency libraries, and services.

SafeSquid On Cloud​

With the rise of distributed workforces, backchanneling all traffic to an on-premise solution is not efficient. To setup SafeSquid SWG on your preferred Cloud PaaS platform or your private cloud infrastructure, use the SafeSquid cloud image or cloud-init script.

Install using SafeSquid TAR file​

If you want to setup SafeSquid on already existing infrastructure or if you want to use another Operating System in the Linux family other than Ubuntu, you can download the SafeSquid tarball and manually install it. You will need to partition the disks appropriately, fine-tune some of the features, and make some additional configurations to services used by SafeSquid, like Monit and BIND9.
