Acrylic Proxy DNS Setup

While still configuring my changes to Raspberry Pi Setup Proxy Server this works on an individual computer.

NOTE: I have this setup mainly for the Wi-Fi, if you want it for wired connections you will need to change Wi-Fi to “Ethernet” or “Ethernet 2”

Step 1: Download and Setup Acrylic

clear

# URL Parameter
$WebURL = "http://www.kittell.net/downloads/Acrylic.exe"

# Directory Parameter
$FileDirectory = "$($env:USERPROFILE)$("\downloads\")"

# If directory doesn't exist create the directory
if((Test-Path $FileDirectory) -eq 0)
    {
        mkdir $FileDirectory;
        cd $FileDirectory;
    }

# We assume the file you download is named what you want it to be on your computer
$FileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($WebURL)

# Concatenate the two values to prepare the download
$FullFilePath = "$($FileDirectory)$($FileName)"

# Give a basic message to the user to let them know what we are doing
Write-Host "Downloading '$WebURL' to '$FullFilePath'"

    $uri = New-Object "System.Uri" "$WebURL" 
    $request = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create($uri) 
    $request.set_Timeout(15000) #15 second timeout 
    $response = $request.GetResponse() 
    $totalLength = [System.Math]::Floor($response.get_ContentLength()/1024) 
    $responseStream = $response.GetResponseStream() 
    $targetStream = New-Object -TypeName System.IO.FileStream -ArgumentList $FullFilePath, Create 
    $buffer = new-object byte[] 10KB 
    $count = $responseStream.Read($buffer,0,$buffer.length) 
    $downloadedBytes = $count 
    while ($count -gt 0) 
    {         
        [System.Console]::Write("`r`nDownloaded {0}K of {1}K", [System.Math]::Floor($downloadedBytes/1024), $totalLength) 
        $targetStream.Write($buffer, 0, $count) 
        $count = $responseStream.Read($buffer,0,$buffer.length) 
        $downloadedBytes = $downloadedBytes + $count 
    } 
  
    $targetStream.Flush()
    $targetStream.Close() 
    $targetStream.Dispose() 
    $responseStream.Dispose() 


# Give a basic message to the user to let them know we are done
Write-Host "`r`nDownload complete"

start-process $FullFilePath -wait
