    I would use squid, and change the cach_dir line to use a smaller cache. You can get the
    memory footprint of squid to be as small as 32MB.

    I used squid for years on an AMD K6-400 with 128MB of RAM.

    Security on the internet is impossible without strong, open,
    and unhindered encryption.
