Welcome to the file hosting area for the...
This site exists solely to host the support files used by the Internet Acceleration Appliance project.
For more information about the Internet Acceleration Appliance (and the process I went through to build the initial one), please take a look at www.InternetAccelerationAppliance.com
The files on this site are all used for the installation and support of the preseeded (automated) Internet Application Appliance installation.
For more details, please take a look at Preseeded Installation.
Please be aware that the described installation has no error checking and if you run it, it WILL wipe your hard drive and install the Internet Acceleration Appliance.
For pre-built Internet Acceleration Appliances (delivered anywhere in France; installed anywhere in Brittany, France), please take a look at www.InternetAccelerationAppliance.com - Products Page
There is also a helpdesk and support forum at www.InternetAccelerationAppliance.com - Helpdesk
File Listing
Introduction
The files detailed below are specific to my requirements for a preseeded (automatic) build of an Internet Acceleration Appliance. Thus, the locale is set to France (even if English is retained as the language) because that's where I live. Likewise, the router IP Address/Gateway is set to 192.168.1.1 because most domestic routers for sale in France default to that address.
As long as you bear those things in mind, you are welcome to use the preseed file (and its associated files) to peform an automatic installation of the Internet Acceleration Appliance - even if the Locale and Language are wrong, the worst thing to happen is that you'll end up turning that old, spare PC, that you have lying in the corner of the garage, into a fully working Caching Proxy server (both HTTP Objects and DNS) and an AdBlocking Filter that improves your online experience.
Of course, you could download the files and edit them to your own requirements - if you do this and feel that what you have done may be useful for others, please send me a copy of those files and I'll be happy to host them here for you.

For Appliances with an IP Address of 192.168.1.2
The following are the files that can be used with an Internet Acceleration Appliance with a fixed IP Address of 192.168.1.2.
The files will assume that the Gateway/Router has an IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and uses OpenDNS as a DNS resolver (see..www.OpenDNS.com for more details.)
File | Date | Notes |
| hosts1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The populated hosts file (including the adblocking urls.) This gets installed automatically using a preseeded install. |
| hosts1.2.bare | 16/10/2009 | The basic hosts file (excluding the adblocking urls.) This can be installed by typing barehosts on your IAA001 box. |
| interfaces1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The /etc/network/interfaces file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to interfaces and copied to /etc/network. |
| resolv.conf1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The /etc/resolv.conf file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to resolv.conf and copied to /etc |
| dhclient.conf1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to dhclient.conf and copied to /etc/dhcp3 |
| bashrc1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The .bashrc file (containing all the aliases.) This gets installed automatically using a preseeded install. |
| ps1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The preseed file that can simplify the installation and configuration process. This copies down install1.2.sh which installs and sets up PDNSD and Squid and completes the installation process by turning a bare low spec PC into an Internet Acceleration Appliance. |
| install1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The installation script file that installs and sets up PDNSD and Squid and completes the installation process. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (as part of the preseeded installation), it is renamed to install.sh. |
| squid.conf1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The squid.conf1.2 configuration file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to squid.conf and copied to /etc/squid |
| pdnsd.conf1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The pdnsd.conf1.2 configuration file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to pdnsd.conf and copied to /etc |
| pdnsd1.2 | 16/10/2009 | The pdnsd configuration file. Once it has been copied down to /home/administrator (by running install.sh), it is renamed to pdnsd and copied to /etc/default |
| package1.2.tar.gz | 16/10/2009 | The installation script file that installs and sets up PDNSD and Squid also copies down this file which consists of all the above files (in their native form) - mainly for support purposes. |

For Appliances with an IP Address of 192.168.0.2
The files that can be used with an Internet Acceleration Appliance with a fixed IP Address of 192.168.0.2 (for ADSL modems/routers which have a default IP Address of 192.168.0.1) will be uploaded soon (24/10/2009).
