Configure the viewer & Final Steps

The following instructions are Catznip specific, for other viewers please refer to their documentation. These steps are required. Once completed relog.

Proxy Settings

In Catznip, open the preferences (CTRL+P), select the 'Setup' tab and press the 'Adjust proxy settings' button. Enter the network address of the machine now running squid, in this case it's named 'MiniMac', If you are running the proxy on the same machine as you use for secondlife it will be 'localhost'. Make sure the port is '3128', and most importantly then at the bottom set 'Other HTTP traffic..' to use the proxy.

Setting the Viewer Cache

You can now reduce the viewer cache. Preferences, 'Advanced tab, move the slider to the desired amount. We do not recommend you set this smaller than 1GB. While here, press the clear cache button.

Enabling HTTP Textures

Catznip ships with HTTP textures disabled by default due to some long standing issues with some domestic routers.

Enable the 'Developer menu' by pressing CTRL+ALT+Q or via preferences.

From the top menu check Develop > HTTP Texures.
