auto_proxy_wifi

Python Automation Script for Windows devices to automatically configure a proxy server on a wifi network based on the network's SSID. Works using Windows environment variables, registry and CLI tools (Netsh).

Utilizes Windows schtasks CLI tool for automatic event scheduling on Wi-Fi network change.

Set-Up and Usage

• To set Proxy rules (which Proxy should be used for which Wi-Fi SSID) just modify the respective main.py or main_loop.py file and add the rule to proxy_rules as shown in the example rule. Wi-Fi names in Proxy Rules are case-insensitive.

  Syntax for each ProxyRule: ProxyRule(wifi_ssid: string, proxy_address: string, proxy_type: string (optional)).

     proxy_rules: list = [
         ProxyRule("wifi1", "http://proxy1:port1", "https"), # If Wi-Fi connected is wifi1, proxy should be http://proxy1:port1
         ProxyRule("wifi2", "proxy2:port2", "socks5"),
         ProxyRule("wifi3", ""), # If Wi-Fi connected is wifi3, there will be no proxy.
     ]

• There are two potential ways to use this script:

  1. Using Python Script ./src/main_loop.py (More Memory-Intensive)

     • Just execute ./src/main_loop.py with Python and watch the magic happen every time you switch Wi-Fi networks. :)

  2. Using Windows Scheduled Task Triggering with ./src/main.py (Less Memory-Intensive)

     • Open any terminal and CD into src folder cd <path_to_repo>/src.
     • Run python3 ./setup.py once and everything will be set up. :)

Removal

• To Disable the script, just run ./src/disable.bat and the scheduled event will be disabled.
• To Uninstall, remove this auto_proxy_wifi folder with all its contents.
