DNSCrypt - A tool for securing communications between a client and a DNS resolver
dnscrypt-proxy provides local service which can be used directly as
your local resolver or as a DNS forwarder, encrypting and
authenticating requests using the DNSCrypt protocol and passing them
to an upstream server.
The DNSCrypt protocol uses high-speed high-security elliptic-curve
cryptography and is very similar to DNSCurve,
but focuses on securing communications between a client and its first-level
resolver.
While not providing end-to-end security, it protects the local
network, which is often the weakest point of the chain, against
man-in-the-middle attacks. It also provides some confidentiality to
DNS queries.
