What is OpenDNS DNSCrypt Proxy?

OpenDNS DNSCrypt Proxy is a free, open source application that acts as a secure intermediary between a user's devices and OpenDNS's DNS resolvers. It works by encrypting DNS queries sent from a user's devices before forwarding them to OpenDNS resolvers that support the DNSCrypt protocol.

Some key features of OpenDNS DNSCrypt Proxy include:

• Encrypts communication between a user's devices and OpenDNS resolvers using high-speed elliptic curve cryptography to prevent eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data.
• Helps protect the privacy and integrity of DNS data by ensuring it is not exposed or altered in transit over the internet.
• Lightweight application with very little impact on DNS performance compared to unencrypted traffic.
• Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms and easy to set up locally on a user's own machine.
• Free and open source software published under MIT License.

Overall, OpenDNS DNSCrypt Proxy provides an added layer of security specifically for DNS traffic by encapsulating it within encrypted communication channels. It can be a useful tool as part of a defense-in-depth security strategy for protecting DNS data and connections.
