Got it going Sonia? Good!

Updated project info here: https://github.com/dyne/dnscrypt-proxy/ ... E.markdown

The 12/2018 maintainer note I'm sure is a typo.

Current lists and "How do I benchmark performance of external DNS lookups?" should help you sort the rest.

DNSCrypt Proxy 2 : a flexible DNS proxy with support for encrypted DNS protocols, like DNSCrypt v2 and DNS-over-HTTPS.

DNSCrypt is a network protocol which authenticates and encrypts Domain Name System (DNS) traffic between the user's computer and recursive name servers. It turns regular DNS traffic into encrypted DNS traffic that's protected from spying, spoofing, or man-in-the-middle attacks, thus improving the user's online security and privacy.

Tutorial is for Ubuntu 18.10 with NetworkManager, not compatible with Puppy or Dog.

As a commentary, if you use a VPN, it is possible that DNS is managed by your VPN and is encrypted using its own servers. Secondly, if you have setup your router for Cloudflare to manage your DNS, it is encrypted. Thirdly, as an easy solution, you may use an OS such as Kodachi which uses DNSCrypt.
Finally, Firefox comes with Enable DNS over HTTPS. Look for it in Network Settings. Default is not use it. Have it activated.
