DNSCrypt Proxy Client is a software designed for secure communication between a user's computer and a Domain Name System (DNS) server. This client encrypts and authenticates DNS requests and responses, providing enhanced security for DNS traffic. With the help of this software, users can protect their online activities from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. It also offers additional features such as blocking unwanted domains and DNS-based ad-blocking. DNSCrypt Proxy Client is available both as a desktop application and web-based service. The client is compatible with all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Discontinued DNSCrypt Windows Service Manager has not been updated since October 8, 2014.
