DNScrypt provides encryption from clients to upstream DNS servers. Encrypting this traffic prevents spying, spoofing, and other man-in-the-middle attacks.
Installation
root # emerge dnscrypt-proxy
Configuration
By default, opendns is used, although some opennic servers support dnscrypt.
/etc/conf.d/dnscrypt-proxy controls settings for DNScrypt. A list of resolvers has been compiled for use with DNScrypt.
/etc/resolv.conf - set dns server as dnscrypt-proxynameserver 127.0.0.1
build up Package:Dnsmasq to handle dns traffic locally.
net-dns/dnsmasq Configuration
Most configurations are located at /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml
/etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml - set dnscrypt-proxy server on an alternate port for dnsmasq to listen to.listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:53000']
Service
root # rc-update add dnscrypt-proxy default root # rc
Testing
If you're using opendns, this welcome page will tell you if you're encrypted or not.
If you're using any other encryption enabled dns servers, try a "leak" test. They should only report the dns servers associated with the ones you've chosen from the list.
