Simple DNSCrypt is a simple management tool to configure dnscrypt-proxy on windows based systems.
If you are looking for an only command line tool, you can use the dnscrypt-proxy software. There are pre-compiled versions for any os. The dnscrypt-proxy software is written and maintained by Frank Denis (@jedisct1).
Missing features:
- IPv6 support - see #1
dnscrypt-proxy version: 1.9.1
To install Simple DNSCrypt use the latest MSI package. You don`t need to download the dnscrypt-resolvers.csv or the dnscrypt-proxy package at all. Both are included in the msi package, the dnscrypt-resolvers.csv can be updated from inside the software (and will be verified with minisign).
The MSI package and the SimpleDnsCrypt.exe are signed via a COMODO RSA Code Signing CA. The files are signed under the name: EAM Experience Area Münsingen GmbH
You also can verify the MSI package with minisign. The minisign signature can be verified with the following command:
minisign -Vm SimpleDNSCrypt.msi -P RWTSM+4BNNvkZPNkHgE88ETlhWa+0HDzU5CN8TvbyvmhVUcr6aQXfssV
To uninstall Simple DNSCrypt and dnscrypt-proxy, just go to the Windows Control Panel (Programs and Features) and search for Simple DNSCrypt.
Simple DNSCrypt will automatically check for new versions on startup.
choco install simplednscrypt

Simple DNSCrypt currently supports four plugins:
libdcplugin_ldns_aaaa_blocking
If your network doesn't support IPv6, chances are that your applications are still constantly trying to resolve IPv6 addresses, causing unnecessary slowdowns.
This plugin causes the proxy to reply immediately to IPv6 requests, without having to send a useless request to upstream resolvers, and having to wait for a response.
libdcplugin_logging
This plugin logs the DNS queries received by the proxy. The logs are stored in a local file. You can choose the folder, where dnscrypt-proxy will store the logfile (dns.log).
libdcplugin_cache
This plugin implements a simple, zero-configuration DNS response cache. The mimimum time to keep a record in cache can be specified in the cache plugin: 60 - 86400 seconds.
libdcplugin_ldns_blocking
This plugin returns a REFUSED response if the query name is in a list of blacklisted names, or if at least one of the returned IP addresses happens to be in a list of blacklisted IPs.
A file should list one entry per line.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. For names, leading and trailing wildcards (*) are also supported (e.g. xxx, .example.com, ads.)
Note: If the file(s) is/are empty, the service may not start!
