Big thanks for maintaining the DNSCrypt-proxy codebase

Many and big thanks for maintaining the "DNSCrypt-proxy codebase without the intention of adding any new features, just patch bugs" as you explain it on your README.markdown.

I've been using DNSCrypt-Proxy for years, at this time the latest dnscrypt-proxy-win64-full-1.9.5
That the code be no longer updated is one thing but that the regularly updated dnscrypt-resolvers.csv be out of reach from where I'd always download it, that is from the DNSCrypt-Proxy Downloads page is another.

Fortunately this dnscrypt-resolvers.csv is available here.
For those like me who need a direct download link to be able to update without opening the browser, here's a direct download link for the dnscrypt-resolvers.csv maintained here.

Thanks again.

Yes, thankyou from me too; long time user. It would also be nice if you folks would make a source-release package available for download by build systems (@openwrt) that used to reference the jedisct1 repo.

TIA

I think we rounded up pretty much on everything. I'll send a briefing to the mailinglist so be sure to be subscribed to continue participating in this effort. At Dyne we have no access to the dnscrypt organisation (ping @jedisct1) so we will continue working here.

Yes I noticed and was studying his code a bit. Looks good.
I'll prepare an overview to send to the mailinglist this weekend.

I saw it too. But it does not available for mobile devices.

I learned the return of Frank, the availability of his DNSCrypt-Proxy v2 thanks to @D1n0Bot 's comment above. Of course it is on Frank's page that it'll have to be discussed but from from what this V2 appears to be at this time (alpha) it is far from offering what latest stable 1.9.5 does. I see the resolvers are included in the config file and that there is no mention of address & domain blacklists nor of proxy and queries logs which are a substantial part of DNSCrypt-Proxy besides encrypted DNS querying of course. But all this is alpha, needs time.

1- If we run DNSCrypt-Proxy we rely on dnscrypt-resolvers.csv
2- I know two dnscrypt-resolvers.csv files available:
2.1.: https://github.com/dyne/dnscrypt-proxy/blob/master/dnscrypt-resolvers.csv : updated 8 days ago
2.2: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers/blob/master/v1/dnscrypt-resolvers.csv : updated 15 days ago

I'm wondering on which of the two II can rely. This is confusing. dnscrypt-resolvers.csv is essential to DNSCrypt-Proxy, need to say. Which of the two? Thanks.

Hi there. I think you can rely on our resolver list here for now, but maintaining a list of working resolvers is beyond the scope of this repository. I have contacted the owner of the DNSCrypt group you mention, but never had a reply, so I'm not sure how viable is to use that group yet.

[jaromil]

Regarding the query log and blocklists... good points I agree with you these are important functionalities. In this software based on dnscrypt https://github.com/dyne/dowse we have a dnscrypt-plugin that does exactly that: exposes queries in a clear CSV format on pub/sub channels via Redis and implements ad-hoc blocklists, soon to be configured per-machine via a frontend. If these functionalities are important then Dowse may be a solution for you, but will need smoothing around the edges.

I saw it too. But it does not available for mobile devices.

I found 2.0.0alpha10 having additional packages support for ARM and MIPS, but I’m not sure whether they support Android.
