How to set up dnscrypt

Continuing the discussion from How do i fix the DNS leak:

I can try it out if you write howto set it up... Because i installed it and it removed the progress i made before of fixing my dns leak. So i uninstalled it and got my progress so far back. Thanks

Demanding little fellow.

Again, Start here and here. Search is your friend. Lots there to absorb and learn, explore.

You’ll never learn to fish if all you want is a handout.

Continuing the discussion from How do i fix the DNS leak:

Interesting.. how does that work? Can i encrypt the dns in the router? So the ISP don't even know what DNS i'm using?? They could seatcj up the DNS right now..
Wanna tell me more? How that is setup? Thanks!
I am not leaking my DNS right now, but they can see i use a VPN if they look up the dns address. Thanks for asking!

I did check it out just now.. Looks awesome! I will not enable it before i know how to add my VPN's dns addresses, without messing up my current setup. Could you expand on that?
:pray: thanks, namaste, arigato gozaimasu

Not interested in going back on a thread that is to convoluted and disjointed to make any sense of.

Start here and here.

@bbxe3zfcle - I've merged your two latest threads into one.

I am asking you again to follow some simple rules... namely 1 topic = 1 thread.

  • Please do not create multiple threads for the same topic.
  • Please keep on-topic on each thread

Thus far, you have not been following these simple rules. When you do not follow them, it clutters the forum in general and makes it extremely confusing and difficult to read. Even worse, those that are willing to help you are getting frustrated since they cannot follow your multiple threads and sudden change of topics mid thread.

This is the last time I will ask you to follow these rules.

I am kinda fishing.. Not demanding much, it takes like one minute for an experienced user to help out :slight_smile: I'm not a little fellow for asking on how to set this up right.. im no coder, i'm kinda some regular computer user..
I kinda know how to set this up. Perhaps.. After i install it i can just activate it and change this:

# Configure DoH provider
while uci -q delete https-dns-proxy.@https-dns-proxy[0]; do :; done
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns="https-dns-proxy"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.bootstrap_dns="8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.resolver_url="https://dns.google/dns-query"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_addr="127.0.0.1"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_port="5053"
uci commit https-dns-proxy
/etc/init.d/https-dns-proxy restart

to this:

# Configure DoH provider
while uci -q delete https-dns-proxy.@https-dns-proxy[0]; do :; done
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns="https-dns-proxy"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.bootstrap_dns="D.N.S.1IP,D.N.S.2IP"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.resolver_url="https://dns.google/dns-query" (It's this part, i don't know how to convert the URL... Or if i need an URL even? What do i write here?)
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_addr="127.0.0.1"
uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_port="5053"
uci commit https-dns-proxy
/etc/init.d/https-dns-proxy restart

(I can probably just leave the rest...)

I can fix the rest.. So some hints or some step-by-step guide? Thanks

Not really. How much time did it take you to make a technical README here?

Ever perused the profiles or read time of anyone chiming in to help? That might put that statement in perspective.

As am I on this platform. Yeh, I do have an IT background tbh, but I’m still just a regular user navigating the wiki/forum et al to figure things out. search is your friend, incentive is up to you, be courteous is mandatory.
[Rant Off]

To your query, it seems you have decided to try @stangri ‘s suggestion of https-dns-proxy. His repo is here. Search the forum topic here. You’re on your own.

If you want to try dnscrypt-proxy2, and Anonymized DNS, I can help.

Post your expectations and use case.

Hey. Ok thanks. But https-dns-proxy is the same right? Anonymized DNS. I could try either dnscrypt-proxy2 or https-dns-proxy it does not really matter... Just the easiest and best option.. I don't really have any expectations, i just heard that i can encrypt the DNS in the router and that sounds interesting to try out. I don't know why i have never done that before, that's all. Why would i want the ISP or 3d parties to creep on the traffic that's unnecessary, or getting personal data sold.
Already made guides online should be a thing for this.. I wanna try to send and get sms in the router and try this, but i don have the patience or time to learn all of this right now, i just need step-by-step guides, so that's mostly what im looking for online.. I wished stuff like this eas already pre-setup with openwrt with the push of a button. No need to configure a bunch or stuff i don't know hos it works really.. just having a hunch mostly. thanks
