Description

Runs a local DNS proxy that can use encrypted DNS protocols such as DNSCrypt and related secure resolver options. It helps protect DNS queries from simple network observation or tampering when configured with trusted resolvers.

Use it when you understand how DNS resolution is routed on the system. Resolver choice, logging, and fallback behavior affect privacy, reliability, and filtering.
