## List of servers to use
##
## Servers from the "public-resolvers" source (see down below) can
## be viewed here: https://dnscrypt.info/public-servers
##
## The proxy will automatically pick working servers from this list.
## Note that the require_* filters do NOT apply when using this setting.
##
## By default, this list is empty and all registered servers matching the
## require_* filters will be used instead.
##
## Remove the leading # first to enable this; lines starting with # are ignored.

# server_names = ['scaleway-fr', 'google', 'yandex', 'cloudflare']


## List of local addresses and ports to listen to. Can be IPv4 and/or IPv6.
## Example with both IPv4 and IPv6:
## listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:53', '[::1]:53']

listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:53']


## Maximum number of simultaneous client connections to accept

max_clients = 250


## Switch to a different system user after listening sockets have been created.
## Note (1): this feature is currently unsupported on Windows.
## Note (2): this feature is not compatible with systemd socket activation.
## Note (3): when using -pidfile, the PID file directory must be writable by the new user

# user_name = 'nobody'


## Require servers (from static + remote sources) to satisfy specific properties

# Use servers reachable over IPv4
ipv4_servers = true

## Always use TCP to connect to upstream servers.
## This can be useful if you need to route everything through Tor.
## Otherwise, leave this to `false`, as it doesn't improve security
## (dnscrypt-proxy will always encrypt everything even using UDP), and can
## only increase latency.

## SOCKS proxy
## Uncomment the following line to route all TCP connections to a local Tor node
## Tor doesn't support UDP, so set `force_tcp` to `true` as well.

## HTTP/HTTPS proxy
## Only for DoH servers

# http_proxy = 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'


## How long a DNS query will wait for a response, in milliseconds.
## If you have a network with *a lot* of latency, you may need to
## increase this. Startup may be slower if you do so.
## Don't increase it too much. 10000 is the highest reasonable value.

timeout = 5000


## Keepalive for HTTP (HTTPS, HTTP/2) queries, in seconds

keepalive = 30


## Add EDNS-client-subnet information to outgoing queries
##
## Multiple networks can be listed; they will be randomly chosen.
## These networks don't have to match your actual networks.

# edns_client_subnet = ["0.0.0.0/0", "2001:db8::/32"]


## Response for blocked queries. Options are `refused`, `hinfo` (default) or
## an IP response. To give an IP response, use the format `a:<IPv4>,aaaa:<IPv6>`.
## Using the `hinfo` option means that some responses will be lies.
## Unfortunately, the `hinfo` option appears to be required for Android 8+

# blocked_query_response = 'refused'


## Load-balancing strategy: 'p2' (default), 'ph', 'p<n>', 'first' or 'random'
## Randomly choose 1 of the fastest 2, half, n, 1 or all live servers by latency.
## The response quality still depends on the server itself.

# lb_strategy = 'p2'

## Set to `true` to constantly try to estimate the latency of all the resolvers
## and adjust the load-balancing parameters accordingly, or to `false` to disable.
## Default is `true` that makes 'p2' `lb_strategy` work well.

# lb_estimator = true


## Log level (0-6, default: 2 - 0 is very verbose, 6 only contains fatal errors)

# log_level = 2


## Log file for the application, as an alternative to sending logs to
## the standard system logging service (syslog/Windows event log).
##
## This file is different from other log files, and will not be
## automatically rotated by the application.

# log_file = 'dnscrypt-proxy.log'


## When using a log file, only keep logs from the most recent launch.

# log_file_latest = true


## Use the system logger (syslog on Unix, Event Log on Windows)

# use_syslog = true


## Delay, in minutes, after which certificates are reloaded

cert_refresh_delay = 240


## DNSCrypt: Create a new, unique key for every single DNS query
## This may improve privacy but can also have a significant impact on CPU usage
## Only enable if you don't have a lot of network load

# dnscrypt_ephemeral_keys = false


## DoH: Disable TLS session tickets - increases privacy but also latency

# tls_disable_session_tickets = false


## DoH: Use a specific cipher suite instead of the server preference
## 49199 = TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
## 49195 = TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
## 52392 = TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305
## 52393 = TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305
##  4865 = TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
##  4867 = TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
##
## On non-Intel CPUs such as MIPS routers and ARM systems (Android, Raspberry Pi...),
## the following suite improves performance.
## This may also help on Intel CPUs running 32-bit operating systems.
##
## Keep tls_cipher_suite empty if you have issues fetching sources or
## connecting to some DoH servers. Google and Cloudflare are fine with it.

# tls_cipher_suite = [52392, 49199]


## Fallback resolvers
## These are normal, non-encrypted DNS resolvers, that will be only used
## for one-shot queries when retrieving the initial resolvers list, and
## only if the system DNS configuration doesn't work.
## No user application queries will ever be leaked through these resolvers,
## and they will not be used after IP addresses of resolvers URLs have been found.
## They will never be used if lists have already been cached, and if stamps
## don't include host names without IP addresses.
## They will not be used if the configured system DNS works.
## Resolvers supporting DNSSEC are recommended.
##
## People in China may need to use 114.114.114.114:53 here.
## Other popular options include 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.
##
## If more than one resolver is specified, they will be tried in sequence.

## Maximum time (in seconds) to wait for network connectivity before
## initializing the proxy.
## Useful if the proxy is automatically started at boot, and network
## connectivity is not guaranteed to be immediately available.
## Use 0 to not test for connectivity at all (not recommended),
## and -1 to wait as much as possible.

netprobe_timeout = 60

## Address and port to try initializing a connection to, just to check
## if the network is up. It can be any address and any port, even if
## there is nothing answering these on the other side. Just don't use
## a local address, as the goal is to check for Internet connectivity.
## On Windows, a datagram with a single, nul byte will be sent, only
## when the system starts.
## On other operating systems, the connection will be initialized
## but nothing will be sent at all.

netprobe_address = '9.9.9.9:53'


## Offline mode - Do not use any remote encrypted servers.
## The proxy will remain fully functional to respond to queries that
## plugins can handle directly (forwarding, cloaking, ...)

# offline_mode = false


## Additional data to attach to outgoing queries.
## These strings will be added as TXT records to queries.
## Do not use, except on servers explicitly asking for extra data
## to be present.
## encrypted-dns-server can be configured to use this for access control
## in the [access_control] section

## Addresses that the local DoH server should listen to

# listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:3000']


## Path of the DoH URL. This is not a file, but the part after the hostname
## in the URL. By convention, `/dns-query` is frequently chosen.
## For each `listen_address` the complete URL to access the server will be:
## `https://<listen_address><path>` (ex: `https://127.0.0.1/dns-query`)

# path = '/dns-query'


## Certificate file and key - Note that the certificate has to be trusted.
## See the documentation (wiki) for more information.

#            DNS64            #
###############################

## DNS64 is a mechanism for synthesizing AAAA records from A records.
## It is used with an IPv6/IPv4 translator to enable client-server
## communication between an IPv6-only client and an IPv4-only server,
## without requiring any changes to either the IPv6 or the IPv4 node,
## for the class of applications that work through NATs.
##
## There are two options to synthesize such records:
## Option 1: Using a set of static IPv6 prefixes;
## Option 2: By discovering the IPv6 prefix from DNS64-enabled resolver.
##
## If both options are configured - only static prefixes are used.
## (Ref. RFC6147, RFC6052, RFC7050)
##
## Do not enable unless you know what DNS64 is and why you need it, or else
## you won't be able to connect to anything at all.

# prefix = ['64:ff9b::/96']

## (Option 2) DNS64-enabled resolver(s) to discover Pref64::/n CIDRs.
## These resolvers are used to query for Well-Known IPv4-only Name (WKN) "ipv4only.arpa." to discover only.
## Set with your ISP's resolvers in case of custom prefixes (other than Well-Known Prefix 64:ff9b::/96).
## IMPORTANT: Default resolvers listed below support Well-Known Prefix 64:ff9b::/96 only.
