# Apt-Proxy

**Apt-Proxy** is a proxy service provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] for Linux systems based on Debian or Ubuntu.

It acts as an intermediary for the `apt` package management system, caching updates and software packages locally on the campus network to reduce external bandwidth consumption and accelerate the update process for university clients.
