## Fallback resolver
## This is a normal, non-encrypted DNS resolver, that will be only used
## for one-shot queries when retrieving the initial resolvers list, and
## only if the system DNS configuration doesn't work.
## No user application queries will ever be leaked through this resolver,
## and it will not be used after IP addresses of resolvers URLs have been found.
## It will never be used if lists have already been cached, and if stamps
## don't include host names without IP addresses.
## It will not be used if the configured system DNS works.
## A resolver supporting DNSSEC is recommended. This may become mandatory.
##
## People in China may need to use 114.114.114.114:53 here.
## Other popular options include 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.

## and -1 to wait as much as possible.

## Address and port to try initializing a connection to, just to check
## if the network is up. It can be any address and any port, even if
## there is nothing answering these on the other side. Just don't use
## a local address, as the goal is to check for Internet connectivity.
## On Windows, a datagram with a single, nul byte will be sent, only
## when the system starts.
## On other operating systems, the connection will be initialized
## but nothing will be sent at all.

###############################
# Cloaking rules #
###############################
## Cloaking returns a predefined address for a specific name.
## In addition to acting as a HOSTS file, it can also return the IP address
## of a different name. It will also do CNAME flattening.

# Pattern-based blocking (blacklists) #
######################################################
## Blacklists are made of one pattern per line. Example of valid patterns:
##
## example.com
## =example.com
## *sex*
## ads.*
## ads*.example.*
## ads*.example[0-9]*.com
##
## Example blacklist files can be found at https://download.dnscrypt.info/blacklists/
## A script to build blacklists from public feeds can be found in the
## `utils/generate-domains-blacklists` directory of the dnscrypt-proxy source code.
[blacklist]

# Pattern-based IP blocking (IP blacklists) #
###########################################################
## IP blacklists are made of one pattern per line. Example of valid patterns:
##

# log_format = 'tsv'
######################################################
# Pattern-based whitelisting (blacklists bypass) #
######################################################
## Whitelists support the same patterns as blacklists
## If a name matches a whitelist entry, the corresponding session
## will bypass names and IP filters.
##
## Time-based rules are also supported to make some websites only accessible at specific times of the day.
[whitelist]
## Path to the file of whitelisting rules (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)
# whitelist_file = 'whitelist.txt'
## Optional path to a file logging whitelisted queries

# log_format = 'tsv'
##########################################
# Time access restrictions #
##########################################
## One or more weekly schedules can be defined here.
## Patterns in the name-based blocklist can optionally be followed with @schedule_name
## to apply the pattern 'schedule_name' only when it matches a time range of that schedule.
##
## For example, the following rule in a blacklist file:
## *.youtube.* @time-to-sleep
## would block access to YouTube only during the days, and period of the days
## define by the 'time-to-sleep' schedule.
##
## {after='21:00', before= '7:00'} matches 0:00-7:00 and 21:00-0:00
## {after= '9:00', before='18:00'} matches 9:00-18:00

# Servers #
#########################
## Remote lists of available servers
## Multiple sources can be used simultaneously, but every source
## requires a dedicated cache file.
##
## Refer to the documentation for URLs of public sources.
##
## A prefix can be prepended to server names in order to
## avoid collisions if different sources share the same for
## different servers. In that case, names listed in `server_names`
## must include the prefixes.
##
## If the `urls` property is missing, cache files and valid signatures
## must be already present; This doesn't prevent these cache files from
## expiring after `refresh_delay` hours.
