In this situation, we developed a tool under free software that allows the configuration and basic administration of Squid Proxy. This work is part of the method of feasible project, based on documentary research and descriptive. System development methodology was carried out under the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The result is an application that meets the current needs of managing network resources
