# DNSCrypt Proxy 2 for Android | privacy oriented

A flexible DNS proxy, with support for modern encrypted DNS protocols such as [DNSCrypt v2](https://dnscrypt.info/protocol), [DNS-over-HTTPS](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8484.txt) and [Anonymized DNSCrypt](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-protocol/blob/master/ANONYMIZED-DNSCRYPT.txt).


## Features
- For all features please refer to the [OFFICIAL PAGE](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy#features)
- All binary files are downloaded from the [OFFICIAL RELEASE PAGE](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/releases)


## Pre-built binaries

- Android/arm
- Android/arm64
- Android/x86
- Android/x86_64


## Differences from the main dnscrypt-proxy project

- ✅ `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 `skip_incompatible` option *(ignore resolvers incompatible with Anonymized DNS instead of using them without a relay)*
- ✅ Enabled `allowed-ips.txt`, `allowed-names.txt`, `blocked-ips.txt` and `blocked-names.txt` files *(as placeholder, use them as you wish for filter your content)*
- ⛔️ Disabled `DoH`
- ⛔️ Disabled `IPv6`
- ⛔️ Disabled `direct_cert_fallback` option *(prevent direct connections through the resolvers for failed certificate retrieved via relay)*
- ℹ️ Set`refused` response to blocked queries
- ℹ️ Set DNS query max. response time from `5000` to `1000` ms.
- ℹ️ Use [UncensoredDNS](https://blog.uncensoreddns.org/) as fallback resolver instead [CloudFlare](https://iscloudflaresafeyet.com/)
- ℹ️ Use `acsacsar-ams-ipv4` [NLD], `arvind-io` [IND], `bcn-dnscrypt` [ESP], `d0wn-tz-ns1` [TZA], `dnscrypt.be` [BEL], `dnscrypt.ca-1` [CAN], `dnscrypt.ca-2` [CAN], `dnscrypt.eu-dk` [DNK], `dnscrypt.eu-nl` [NLD], `dnscrypt.one` [DEU], `dnscrypt.pl` [POL], `dnscrypt.uk-ipv4` [GBR], `ev-to` [CAN], `ev-va` [CAN], `faelix-ch-ipv4` [CHE], `faelix-uk-ipv4` [GBR], `ffmuc.net` [DEU], `jp.tiar.app` [JPN], `meganerd` [NLD], `plan9-dns` [USA], `publicarray-au` [AUS], `sarpel-dns-istanbul` [TUR], `scaleway-ams` [NLD], `scaleway-fr` [FRA], `serbica` [NLD], `skyfighter-dns` [NLD], `v.dnscrypt.uk-ipv4` [GBR] and `ventricle.us` [USA] resolvers.


## 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.
3. Test your DNS: https://dnsleaktest.com/


### 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/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Configuration).
- For more support on a good privacy oriented setup, join with us at [dnscrypt-proxy-android | CHAT](https://t.me/qd_invitations) on Telegram.


#### AFWall+ users only

If you experience no connection issue after flashing the module I suggest you to insert these scripts: (in both, enter and shutdown boxes)

```
iptables -A "afwall" -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 5354 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A "afwall" -d 127.0.0.1 -p udp --dport 5354 -j ACCEPT
```

The issue is related to the use of `AFWall+` and only happens on some devices, it depends on how the DNS configuration is implemented in the device itself.
