This is a redirector for squid that intercepts advertising (banners, popup windows, flash animations, etc), page counters and some web bugs (as found). This has both aesthetic and bandwidth benefits. It's also easy to install.

BFilter is a smart filtering HTTP proxy. Its primary purpose is removing banner ads. Unlike the majority of similar tools, it doesn't rely on a list of blocked URLs, but instead parses HTML on the fly, and detects ads using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in Javascript engine that detects js-generated ads.

HAProxy is a high-performance and highly-robust TCP/HTTP load balancer which provides cookie-based persistence, advanced traffic regulation with surge protection, automatic failover, run-time regex-based header control, Web-based reporting, advanced logging to help trouble-shooting buggy applications and/or networks, and a few other features. Its own event-driven state machine achieves 10,000 hits per second on modern hardware, even with tens of thousands of simultaneous connections.

HAVP (HTTP Anti Virus Proxy) is a proxy which scans downloads for viruses with several scanners (ClamAV, F-Prot, Kaspersky, NOD32, Sophos) at the same time. The main aims are continuous, non-blocking downloads and smooth scanning of dynamic and password protected HTTP traffic. It can be used with squid or standalone, and it also supports transparent proxy mode.

Polipo is a lightweight caching Web proxy that was designed as a personal cache. It is able to cache incomplete objects and will complete them using range requests. It will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if supported by the remote server.

Privoxy is a Web proxy based on Internet Junkbuster with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering Web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups, and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy is useful for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging. By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.

SquidClamAv is a dedicated ClamAV antivirus redirector for Squid. It can run antivirus checks based on filename regex, content-type regex, and more. It is easy to install and works even with heavy Squid access.

VultureNG is reverse proxy based on Apache and mod_perl. It brings many security-related features, such as authentication (LDAP, SQL, SSL) and authentication forwarding (SSO), flow encryption, content filtering, URL rewriting, and load balancing.

Ziproxy is a forwarding (non-caching) proxy that gzips text and HTML files, and reduces the size of images by converting them to lower quality JPEGs. It is intended to increase the speed for low-speed Internet connections and it's suitable for both home and professional usage. Ziproxy is fully configurable and also features transparent proxy mode, preemptive name resolution, operation in either daemon mode or (x)inetd mode, a detailed access log with compression statistics, basic authentication, and more.
