The registry key used for this service is SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dnscrypt-proxy\Parameters Once it is successfully installed, you will see the following: The dnscrypt-proxy service has been installed and started
#SETUP OPENDNS DNSCRYPT INSTALL#
Once it is successful, you can continue to install the proxy service by pressing the “Up” button and changing the “–test=0” to “–install” as shown below. If this doesn’t work, simply change the DNS resolver till you get one that works.

If your CMD window looks like the image above, you are on the right path and the proxy service has been successfully tested. dnscrypt-proxy.exe -resolver-name=opendns -resolvers-list="C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\DNSCrypt\bin\dnscrypt-resolvers.csv" -test=0

You will also need to change the file path to correspond with the location of the csv file on your computer.
#SETUP OPENDNS DNSCRYPT UPDATE#
You will can change the “opendns” section with a name from the CSV file, or you can update your CSV file by adding any of the public DNS resolvers that currently support DNSCrypt. Next, you will need to install the proxy service from DNSCrypt. This command will tell command prompt to look in the “bin” folder where the EXE and CSV files are located. Remember that you will need to enter the path that corresponds with your “bin” folder. Now you will need to open an elevated command prompt window by searching for “cmd”, right-clicking, and choosing “Run as Administrator”. Once you have your Elevated CMD window open, enter the following string.
#SETUP OPENDNS DNSCRYPT ZIP FILE#
Extract all the files by opening the zip file and dragging them into the DNSCrypt folder or by right-clicking and specifying the desktop folder as the extract destination. You can create this folder anywhere you want to, but the desktop is easiest for the purposes of this demonstration. Now, let’s create a folder on the desktop called DNSCrypt. If you see a newer version on the page, be sure to use that instead.
#SETUP OPENDNS DNSCRYPT DOWNLOAD#
Once you are on the page, simply click the “dnscrypt-proxy-win32-full-1.4.1.zip” link to download the files needed.

Servers and relays may not be very stable.As with every program you use, you will need to start by downloading the installation package. More information about ODoH protocol: Improving DNS Privacy with Oblivious DoH in 1.1.1.1Ĭaveats: The Oblivious DNS-over- HTTPS protocol is still a work in progress. # Configure "ODoH servers" and "ODoH relays" odoh_servers= "" odoh_relays= "" sed -i -e "32 s/.*/server_names = $odoh_servers/ 795 s/.*/routes = /" /etc /dnscrypt-proxy2 /*.toml # Enable ODoH on dnscrypt-proxy2 sed -i -e "s/.*odoh_servers.*/odoh_servers = true/ 689,700 s/#//" /etc /dnscrypt-proxy2 /*.toml You can change the ODoH servers and ODoH relays to any other. Relays can't get responses from a generic DoH server that doesn't support ODoH. Instead of directly sending a query to a target DoH server, the client encrypts it for that server, but sends it to a relay.Īn ODoH relay can only communicate with an ODoH server and an ODoH client. ODoH (Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS) prevents servers from learning anything about client IP addresses, by using intermediate relays dedicated to forwarding encrypted DNS data.
