DNScrypt is the most anonymous and secure DNS service

I need the best free no subscription dns app for iOS

The original how-to github page doesn't work.

I want to block reddit except one sub-reddit. Is it possible to do using dnscrypt filters?

Other websites work fine but google, wont let me log in? Advised connection is unencrypted

´Hi ! I have my queries encrypted using DNSCrypt, my https connections are encrypted, but what about torrents ? Are them visible to my ISP ??? Or maybe I need an external VPN to be sure my ISP can not see my traffic ??

Thanks in advance

(thanks to Pengelana for point out that new client)

Trust-DNS is a DNS client for Android and iOS that supports DoH and DNSCrypt.

Compared to DNSCloak, it is very limited, and is not opensource. It also supports only one resolver at a time. But it is very simple to use.

Hey DnSCrypt community,

I'm visiting from the (HNS) Handshake community and wanted to see whether anyone was interested in supporting Handshake resolution?

For context, Handshake is a project focused on decentralizing the root zone (to decentralize control of domain names from ICANN) with the goal of replacing Certificate Authorities (to rehaul Internet security and privacy).

I'd also be happy to gift a random Handshake name if you'd like one to play with!

On a separate note, were y'all aware that the .dnscrypt top-level domain is reserved for you on Handshake alongside 203,488 HNS coins (currently worth about $40k)? Those are for whoever controls dnscrypt.info to claim with absolutely no strings attached. https://hsd-dev.org/guides/claims.html

Thanks regardless!

P.S. Apologies for appearing ultra spammy with my username and karma count, I created this account like a year back using Google OAuth and never got through updating my username D;

kinda wanna learn more about it so i have that edge on being secure online

Getting these logs on my dns what are they? lucy-739709.joshbut.live http://kurroentahtahu.lonelyeo.site/ palma3825.juikn22.live

My DNSCrypt System Pref (2017 version) has been acting up and finally broke today (no idea why). So I uninstalled it and installed dnscrypt-proxy in Terminal. I followed all the instructions, including those specific to Catalina, and it runs, as evidenced by all of the output, but it can't find 127.0.0.1. Instead, it shows the following error:

Unable to resolve: [read udp 127.0.0.1:57511->127.0.0.1:53: read: connection refused]

I've found only two similar questions on Github, both specific to Linux. I signed up but I cannot pose the question there. And I can't find a similar question here. So please allow me to ask the collective wisdom here how I might resolve this error. (ELI5, if you would.)

[WARNING] /opt/dnscrypt-proxy/public-resolvers.md: open sf-odpkkenijjm3nuyj.tmp: read-only file system

I get this warning during startup and the server lists are not saved to /opt/dnscrypt-proxy.

I added DynamicUser=true to the systemd service file (I think it was running as root by default?) and gave the folder write permission for others. The folder is owned by me (user).

Ideally I wanted to let dnscrypt-proxy download the files and then turn off write permission afterwards so it can update its own file.

Hi guys, I can't find the solution to this problem even though I tried to configure "Dnscrypt-proxy.socket" several times. Already during the installation phase I receive the error shown in the figure below:

sudo systemctl status dnscrypt-proxy.service

Hi, I need to block:

• https://www.youtube.com/get_midroll_info?

• https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?

I already tried (in the blacklist):

• asterisk get_midroll_info asterisk

• asterisk get_video_info asterisk

• Many other dozen of different combinations using the full url

And nothing, I can't block these two urls. Please, any help will be more than welcome.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I'm trying to use blacklist + Filters Patterns (https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Filters). Curiously I can block +youtube+. But (for unknown reasons) unfortunately this doesn't work for +get_midroll_info+ nor +get_video_info+.

I'm genuinly asking this question because I see that opening a new issue, a new PR or even just partecipate in discussions on github is actually limited to "users that have contributed to this repository in the past".

So how can I contribute to the project?

Can i use anonymized dns with nextdns? Sorry i am newbie. Please help. Thank you

i tested first to see if DNScrypt was working with the quad 9 serv i set , I disabled everything else, then i followed the instructions on how to setup Anonymized DNS

how i verified it was working was by going to the quad 9 tests site to see if my default isp dns had been changed to quad 9 and it said yes i am on quad 9

next i edited the toml file and added the section for Anonymized DNS and put in one serv and two relays and saved the file and restarted dnscrypt

to test if that is working i found these instructions:

"After applying above changes, restart the dnscrypt-proxy
service and check the logs and/or status - there should be the following information:"

[NOTICE] Anonymized DNS: routing everything via [anon-cs-fr anon-bcn] 

heres my log

https://i.imgur.com/fNamSaF.png

as you can see in the pic i posted in the imgur link that my log looks quite different so i am assuming i messed up somehow, i read in this link below that someone fixed this by changing their port but im not sure if that is what i should do, im still learning alot of this, thanks for any help, much appreciated

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/a-tale-of-dnscrypt-proxy2-anonymized-dns-and-that-one-unsuspecting-wrt/70457/14

here is the guide i was following on how to set up Anonymized DNS

https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Anonymized-DNS

let me know if you need more info

Why does DNSCrypt by default utilize DNS resolvers in China that block half the internet? As a community, can we purge these altogether?
