Squid and Pihole?

So im running pihole on a fairly underutilised raspberry pi 3 and i remember when we used to run huge LAN events at uni that we used a squid proxy cache server, i was wondering whether it would be worth it as the sd cards huge and has plenty of extra space? would it actually reduce the amount of bandwidth used for general browsing?

If so if anyone wants to point me in the right direction im happy to also report my findings :)

 

Regards

 

Tom

I have 2 raspberry pi, one as pinhole and another as squid proxy.

I have not seen an increase of speed except when updating chrome on several computers ( I have 5 PCs).
