    You have squid or some other forward http proxy set up to share a cache among all the devices on your network set up to access the Web, to minimize duplicate traffic?

    And you have a shared caching DNS server set up locally, something like BIND?

    Oh. You don’t. Well, that’s probably okay. I mean, it probably doesn’t matter that your devices are pulling duplicate copies of data down. Not everyone can have a network that minimizes latency and avoids inefficiency across devices.

      That won’t work in most cases, all https traffic isn’t cached unless you mitm https which is a bad idea and not worth it.

      Only cache updates those are worth it and most have a caching server option.
