However, due to my lack of understanding, I am having some difficulty interpreting one of the instructions on line # 7 of the guide and I am hopeful that someone will be able to help point me in the right direction
Where it states "In Luci Forward DNS requests to 127.0.0.1#5353.", I am uncertain of where I actually need to navigate to in order to enter this information as there is a port #5353 tagged onto it. My initial interpretation was to enter them in:
Interfaces / LAN / General setup -> Use custom DNS servers -> 127.0.0.1
Interfaces / WAN / General setup -> Use custom DNS servers -> 127.0.0.1
But there is no placeholder field to enter the port number!
Could someone running the same build with dnscrypt-proxy v2 please help by clarifying what I actually need to do to complete this step?
then your toml file should contain a line like this:
listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:5353']
you can then enter them in through LuCI:
Interfaces / LAN / General setup -> Use custom DNS servers -> 127.0.0.1
Interfaces / WAN / General setup -> Use custom DNS servers -> 127.0.0.1
no need to input the port number since the toml file is already configured to listen to port 5353.
@davidc502 - That is correct. All files were downloaded from your instruction set. I checked the toml file as suggested by @wrtboy and verified that the listening address was 127.0.0.1#5353 and the fallback resolver was 1.1.1.1.
After following the instructions from @wrtboy by entering 127.0.0.1 in the WAN and LAN interfaces, I received positive configuration check results when performing the dnscrypt-proxy -config /etc/config/dnscrypt-proxy.toml -check test.
Is there any reason why I am not seeing dnscrypt-proxy log entries inside my syslog? Also, for housekeeping, can I delete the old dnscrypt-proxy config file that contains:
Config global
config dnscrypt-proxy 'ns1'
option address '127.0.0.1'
option port '5353'
option resolver 'dnscrypt.ca-2'
config dnscrypt-proxy
option address '127.0.0.1'
option port '5354'
option resolver 'ipredator'
