# Network filtering with Squid
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to deploy a filtering HTTP proxy to restrict Internet access. Here we show one way to do this using a VPC with two subnets:
|
|
|
|
- The `apps` subnet hosts the VMs that will have their Internet access tightly controlled by a non-caching filtering forward proxy.
|
|
- The `proxy` subnet hosts a Cloud NAT instance and a [Squid](http://www.squid-cache.org/) server.
|
|
|
|
The VPC is a Shared VPC and all the service projects will be located under a folder enforcing the `compute.vmExternalIpAccess` [organization policy](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/organization-policy/org-policy-constraints). This prevents the service projects from having external IPs, thus forcing all outbound Internet connections through the proxy.
|
|
|
|
To allow Internet connectivity to the proxy subnet, a Cloud NAT instance is configured to allow usage from [that subnet only](https://cloud.google.com/nat/docs/using-nat#specify_subnet_ranges_for_nat). All other subnets are not allowed to use the Cloud NAT instance.
|
|
|
|
To simplify the usage of the proxy, a Cloud DNS private zone is created and the IP address of the proxy is exposed with the FQDN `proxy.internal`.
|
|
|
|
You can optionally deploy the Squid server as [Managed Instance Group](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instance-groups) by setting the `mig` option to `true`. This option defaults to `false` which results in a standalone VM.
