DNSCrypt Windows Service Manager
For Windows
This little program will assist in setting up DNSCrypt as a service, configure it and change network adapter DNS settings to use DNSCrypt. It is built on the idea behind dnscrypt-winclient and includes a few elements from this program.
It includes the option to use TCP/UDP protocol, IPV4/IPV6 connectivity, choice of network adapter to configure, as well as configurations for currently available DNSCrypt providers.
Usage
- Choose a good location for the application – it needs to stay here for the dnscrypt-proxy service to run and work.
- Extract the exe file from the zip.
- Download the latest DNSCrypt-proxy bundle for Windows and extract into the same directory.
- Run “dnscrypt-winservicemgr.exe”.
- Tick off the network adapters to configure for DNSCrypt use (This changes it’s DNS servers to “127.0.0.1”).
- Select the service provider you wish to use, your preferred settings and click “Enable”.
- Check that it works by going to dnsleaktest.com or similar.
When DNSCrypt has been configured, you can close the program again. You only need to run it when changing configuration. The dnscrypt-proxy service will run in the backgroup taking care of everything.
