Acrylic DNS Proxy -> Improve your browsing experience...
Acrylic DNS Proxy
Acrylic is a local DNS proxy for Windows which improves the performance of your computer by caching the responses coming from your DNS servers and helps you fight unwanted ads through a custom HOSTS file (optimized for handling hundreds of thousands of domain names) with support for wildcards and regular expressions.
When you browse a web page a portion of the loading time is dedicated to name resolution (usually from a few milliseconds to 1 second or more) while the rest is dedicated to the transfer of the web page contents and resources to your browser. What Acrylic does is to reduce the time dedicated to name resolution for frequently visited addresses closest to zero possible. It may not seem such a great optimization but in a few weeks of Internet browsing you will probably save an hour or so, which is definitely not such a bad thing. Furthermore Acrylic's sliding expiration caching mechanism, simultaneous forwarding to multiple DNS servers and support for background DNS updates are able to improve your browsing experience independently of the browser.
With Acrylic you can also gracefully overcome down times of your DNS servers without disrupting your work, because in that case you will at least be able to connect to your favorite websites and to your email server.
What's new in version 0.9.34 released on July 1, 2016
The setup now tries to add a firewall rule to allow inbound traffic to the Acrylic service.
A console application (AcrylicRegExTester) to test regular expressions against domain names has been added to the project.
Fixed a rare bug in the way the AcrylicHosts.txt file was read. Support for Old Macintosh line terminator style has been dropped.
The regular expression engine has been replaced with PCRE (many more features and about 3.5 times faster than the previous one). (*)
