DNSCrypt-Proxy Can Encrypt Your DNS Traffic Securely
By Timothy Tibbettson 07/12/2023 |
DNSCrypt-Proxy is a multi-platform command-line proxy for ensuring your DNS traffic is encrypted. But don't fear if you are unfamiliar with command prompt, Tim has written the ultimate listing of all known command prompt commands to help you through.
It operates by bridging applications that are awaiting regular DNS with secure servers that support encrypted DNS (DNSCrypt and DoH). DNSCrypt-Proxy is also capable of displaying DNS activity, cache results (to improve speed), as well as locally blocking unwanted content.
Once DNSCrypt-Proxy has been implemented it will keep track of all incoming and outgoing traffic - all of which is authenticated as well as encrypted.
DNSCrypt-Proxy Features:
-DNS traffic encryption and authentication and supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNSCrypt
-DNS query monitoring, with separate log files for regular and suspicious queries
-Filtering: block ads, malware, and other unwanted content. Compatible with all DNS services
-Time-based filtering, with a flexible weekly schedule
-Transparent redirection of specific domains to specific resolvers
-DNS caching, to reduce latency and improve privacy
-Local IPv6 blocking to reduce latency on IPv4-only networks
-Load balancing: pick a set of resolvers, DNSCrypt-Proxy will automatically measure and keep track of their speed, and balance the traffic across the fastest available ones.
-Cloaking: like a HOSTS file on steroids, that can return preconfigured addresses for specific names, or resolve and return the IP address of other names. This can be used for local development as well as to enforce safe search results on Google, Yahoo and Bing.
-Automatic background updates of resolvers lists
-Can force outgoing connections to use TCP
-Supports SOCKS proxies
-Compatible with DNSSEC
