If you are running Varnish, protecting against the HTTPOXY CGI vulnerability is a simple as:
sub vcl_recv {
unset req.http.proxy;

Sorry if it looks a bit sparse around here, we’re in the process of moving the Varnish Cache project to its own infrastructure.
If you want to help out, we will gladly take pull requests to the new homepage, you can find it in this github repos. /phk
Privacy¶
You can access the varnish-cache homepages with HTTP or HTTPS as you like.
We save the logfiles from our Varnish instance for a limited period, in order to be able to debug problems.
The old homepage ran Google Analytics, and we have continued that here for now, but unless we actually learn something useful from the data they collect, it will be discontinued.
