Can anyone help me how do i setup cache server which is the best cache server that stable for ISP i need to cache ( YOUTUBE, Facebook, http, https, streaming).

I already tried Squid Proxy but it won't cache YouTube, Facebook and others popular sites!

It only works on http sites!

It wouldnt be possible to cache all of youtube or facebook. That would take several thousand petabytes of storage.

You can't cache HTTPS because it's encrypted obviously, ISP doesn't know what content are being sent. The only way you can do that is by replacing all site certificates with your own but browser would notify the user about that will require explicit confirmation that they want to continue browsing the site despite encryption were compromised, and some sites that use strict HTTPS (HSTS) like most Google sites including Youtube wouldn't work this way altogether (at least with browsers that comply with it, like all modern browsers).

In short, you can't do that transparently.
