## Differences between default DNSCrypt Proxy project

##### **- CONFIG. FILE:** *(dnscrypt-proxy.toml)*

- ✅ `DNSSEC` required
- ✅ Enabled `dnscrypt_ephemeral_keys` feature *(create a new, unique key for every single DNS query)*
- ✅ Enabled `anonymized_dns` feature *(each resolver has 2 relays)*
- ✅ Enabled `blacklist.txt` file to block ads, trackers, `CNAMEs` and prevent many others via substrings and wildcards (see my [block](https://git.nixnet.xyz/quindecim/block) repository)
- ⛔️ `DoH` disabled
- ⛔️ `IPv6` disabled
- ℹ️ Set`refused` response to blocked queries
- ℹ️ Set DNS query max. response time from `5000` to `1500`, in ms.
- ℹ️ Use [UncensoredDNS](https://blog.uncensoreddns.org/) as fallback resolver instead CloudFlare
- ℹ️ Use `dnscrypt.nl-ns0` (NL), `dnscrypt.eu-dk` (DK), `dnscrypt.eu-nl` (NL), `dnscrypt.one` (DE), `dnscrypt.uk-ipv4` (UK), `ffmuc.net` (DE), `publicarray-au` (AUS), `publicarray-au2` (AUS), `scaleway-ams` (NL), `scaleway-fr` (FR) and `v.dnscrypt.uk-ipv4` (UK)


## Installation

1. Download latest `.zip` file from [dnscrypt-proxy-android | CHANNEL](https://t.me/dnscrypt_proxy) on Telegram and flash it with Magisk Manager.
2. Reboot.
*  There are two variants for each version. The only difference between them is that one use the port `:53` and the other one the port `:5354`.
The best solution for everyone would be to use the `:5354` port variant because it doesn't break the hotspot feature of the device, but there's someone who has a problem with that port being blind and won't let dnscrypt to get started. In this case I suggest to use the `:53` port variant.


### Configuration (post-installing)

- You can edit `dnscrypt-proxy.toml` as you wish located on `/sdcard/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml` [or /data/media/0/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml]
- For more detailed configuration please refer to [official documentation](https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Configuration)
