certutil -hashfile SquidProxyProSetup.exe SHA256 in PowerShell or Command Prompt and compare the output to the published value.
Install
Run the code-signed installer with administrator rights. The installer registers Squid as a Windows service with sensible defaults.
Configure
Open the management console, set your listener and ACLs, and validate the configuration before starting the service.
License
Activate your perpetual commercial license from inside the console when you're ready to deploy in production.
Production deployments. Run a quick check against your environment first: confirm the listener port is free, allow the port through Windows Firewall, and configure clients before pointing production traffic at the proxy. The documentation covers each of these steps.
