HI, i think the good old squid proxy will help you here, it can be installed on the same server as chilli.

you can download it here http://www.squid-cache.org/

Re: chillispot and a transparent proxy ?

If you put squid on the same box as the chilli host and there should be nothing special to configure. clients would use the squid automaticly.


Squid will not save upload data thou, it just helps with cache'd downloads, google for "squid windows update cache" this will save lots of satelite traffic.
