About this site and how its guides are written
This site is an independent reference on DNSCrypt and encrypted DNS. It explains the protocols, maintains a decoded directory of public resolvers and offers browser tools for building dnscrypt-proxy configurations and comparing resolver speed. It is not run by the developers of dnscrypt-proxy, whose specification and documentation live at dnscrypt.info.
How pages are written
Every guide is written by the editorial team from primary sources: the protocol specifications and RFCs, the dnscrypt-proxy documentation and changelog, operating system vendors' own help pages and resolver operators' published policies. Each page lists those sources at the end, so any statement can be traced back to the document it came from and checked independently.
Pages describe what the sources say and do not claim lab tests that were not run. Where a feature depends on a version, the guide names the version the documentation gives. Each page shows the date it was last reviewed under its headline, and guides are revisited when a new dnscrypt-proxy release or an operating system update changes a step.
Where the data comes from
The resolver directory and the route builder are generated from the signed public resolver and relay lists that dnscrypt-proxy itself uses. Only the facts each server publishes in its stamp are shown, such as protocol, address, port and declared properties. The counts on the site reflect the lists as published on 27 October 2026.
The tools on this site run entirely in your browser, without accounts, cookies, trackers or analytics scripts of any kind. The route builder assembles configuration text locally and sends nothing anywhere. The DNS speed test contacts public resolvers only after you press its start button, and the results stay on your screen.
