Case Study
New Relic Squid Proxy
Automated New Relic proxy setup across restricted enterprise networks with a one-command installer that removes recurring connectivity blockers.

The Problem
Enterprise environments don't always have direct internet access. Servers sit behind corporate firewalls, traffic goes through proxy chains, and getting a New Relic agent connected becomes a manual, distro-specific process that derails POC timelines before the client sees a single metric. Every new client with network restrictions meant starting from scratch.
What I Built
An automated Squid Proxy installer that handles the entire lifecycle in a single command. One-liner install, multi-distro Linux support across nine distributions, optional SSL bump for TLS interception, Basic Auth, corporate proxy chaining, and a built-in verification engine that tests connectivity to all New Relic endpoints before handoff. It also ships with a New Relic dashboard out of the box, so the proxy itself is observable from day one.
