See the GitHub issue relating to this.

originally when i followed the guide to setup dnscrypt v2 every step worked up until:

Edit /etc/config/dhcp:

config dnsmasq
# Ignore ISP's DNS by not reading upstream servers from /etc/resolv.conf
option noresolv '1'
# Ensures that /etc/resolv.conf directs local system processes to use dnsmasq and hence dnscrypt-proxy
option localuse '1'
# Disable dnsmasq cache because we don't want to cache twice and the dnscrypt-proxy cache is superior
option cachesize '0'

after applying these settings i had no internet connection at all so i reverted them,

You should reinstate these options now that you have resolved your faulty relay config.

You lost internet connection because dnscrypt-proxy crashed, and you were left without a dns resolver.

when i use dns leak checking sites now it does now show my isp IP so i am assuming that the isp resolvers are not being used, how would you recommend i verify that everything is working proper and my isp is not involved

See above.

also am i supposed to mark this thread as solved now or does someone else do that?

Yes, please.

If your problem is solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. See How to mark a topic as [Solved] for a short how-to.
