dnscrypt-proxy

Overview A flexible DNS proxy, with support for modern encrypted DNS protocols such as DNSCrypt v2 including Post-Quantum DNSCrypt (DNSCrypt 2026), DNS-over-HTTPS, Anonymized DNSCrypt and ODoH (Oblivious DoH). dnscrypt-proxy documentation ← Start here DNSCrypt project home page Discussions DNS-over-HTTPS and DNSCrypt resolvers Server and client implementations DNS stamps FAQ Download the latest release Available as source code and pre-built binaries for most operating systems and architectures (see below). Features DNS traffic encryption and authentication. Supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) using TLS 1.3 and QUIC, PQDNSCrypt, DNSCrypt, Anonymized DNS and ODoH Client IP addresses can be hidden using Tor, SOCKS proxies or Anonymized DNS relays 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 Optional hot-reloading of configuration files (disabled by default from v2.1.10) 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, DuckDuckGo and Bing Automatic background updates of resolvers lists Can force outgoing connections to use TCP Compatible with DNSSEC Includes a local DoH server in order to support ECH (ESNI) Pre-built binaries Up-to-date, pre-built binaries are available for: Android/arm Android/arm64 Android/x86 Android/x86_64 Dragonfly BSD FreeBSD/arm FreeBSD/x86 FreeBSD/x86_64 Linux/arm Linux/arm64 Linux/mips Linux/mipsle Linux/mips64 Linux/mips64le Linux/x86 Linux/x86_64 macOS/arm64 macOS/x86_64 NetBSD/x86 NetBSD/x86_64 OpenBSD/x86 OpenBSD/x86_64 Windows Windows 64 bit Windows ARM How to use these files, as well as how to verify their signatures, are documented in the installation instructions.
