<title>DNSCrypt client proxy</title>
<para>
The DNSCrypt client proxy relays DNS queries to a DNSCrypt enabled upstream
resolver. The traffic between the client and the upstream resolver is
encrypted and authenticated, mitigating the risk of MITM attacks, DNS
poisoning attacks, and third-party snooping (assuming the upstream is
trustworthy).

To enable the client proxy, set

Enabling the client proxy does not alter the system nameserver; to relay
local queries, prepend <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> to

To run the DNSCrypt proxy client as a forwarder for another DNS client,
change the default proxy listening port to a non-standard value and point
the other client to it:
