DNSCrypt Protocol Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Use Portmaster with DNSCrypt

  Up until recently, I've used it with quad9 DNS, which is fine, but as people found out, we can make it work with dnscrypt-proxy, which allows us to use DNSCrypt, which basically is a protocol that encrypts, authenticates and optionally anonymizes communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. It prevents DNS spoofing. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses originate from the chosen DNS... Source: about 2 years ago

• Is there a perfect DNS solution?

  Running your own local recursive caching DNS resolver is always good. Something like a Pihole for home networks works well. You can also host your own DNS resolver on a VPS, and then connect to it using DNSCrypt. Source: over 2 years ago

  DNSCrypt includes those encryption protocols. Do you use AdGuard Home - DNSCrypt? Source: almost 3 years ago

• Firefox DNS-over-HTTPS

  This is FUD. This possibility has nothing to do with HTTP vs. [some other DNS-like protocol] sitting on top of an encrypted connection. This possibility is, however, enabled by having the application package its own DNS resolution. If you want to use DNS over HTTPS as a system-wide daemon, you can use DNSCrypt 2 (https://dnscrypt.info/ ) and disable DoH within Firefox/Chrome. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• 1/25) BTC is fools gold, A purely speculative game of greater fool theory. Without security or scarcity, BTC is not competitive. I abandoned it completely by 2016. Most do not know that BTC completely changed since that time. BTC is no longer P2P Electronic Cash or sound money!

• Pentagon retakes control of IP addresses it moved in last minutes of presidency

  It's not Cloudflare's fault. In any case in order to maintain privacy I use https://dnscrypt.info it has an anonymized DNS option https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Anonymized-DNS I then just use unbound and forward that to DNSCrypt on my router. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DNSCrypt#Unbound. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

  Use encrypted DNS. My favorite protocol is DNSCRYPT. I use dnscrypt servers both on my laptop and computer. You can also run a pihole to filter out ads, trackers, and more. There are also other options like Adguard DNS. Source: about 4 years ago
