DNSCrypt is a protocol for securing communications between a client and a DNS resolver, preventing spying, spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks. To use it, you’ll need a tool called dnscrypt-proxy, which “can be used directly as your local resolver or as a DNS forwarder, authenticating requests using the DNSCrypt protocol and passing them to an upstream server“.
According to Pascal, he didn’t use the US based OpenDNS resolver, because it keeps logs of the websites you visit and it hijacks the homepage on all browsers, redirecting any URL bar search to its own servers in some cases, which does not happen with the DNSCrypt.eu servers.
With this app, we are a step closer to surfing the Web without corporate or government monitoring, and making it more difficult for hackers.
A move in the right direction to make the internet a more safer place for us all.

DNSCrypt
Tried it and I liked it.
Theres is a bit of lag, not much but noticeable.
I'm using a server in my own country
Maybe it could be sped up using dnscaching

Is tor using it?
No it seems it doesn't need to since DNS resolves are done on the exit node side
Thank you for some good posts labbe, keep it up

Will definetly try this and I will use it by defaultIt is recommended to run DNSCrypt as a forwarder for a local DNS cache, otherwise every single query will make a round-trip to the upstream resolver. Any local DNS caching program should work, examples below show configuration for Unbound and dnsmasq.

if you switch from a dns provider who happily

to one without logs it seems to me anotherway

I don't want the government to install
microphones in my bedroom so I for me it's
natural for not wanting them to do it on my comp

Well, one could snip the wires to the installed microphone in a computer. As long as the microphone port still works so you can add one, OR NOT.
Netbooks are notorious of installing mic's. Snip-snip its gone.
I'd be more concerned about cameras, now THERE's intrusion.
