SquidMan is a MacOS X graphical installer and manager for the Squid proxy cache. It is designed to operate as a "personal" proxy server.
When you run Squid on a MacOS X computer, it can:
cache downloaded content, reducing network traffic and improving browsing performance on slow links
act as a proxy server for other computers on your subnet
restore the operation of some MacOS X applications that normally fail through authenticated proxy servers
