Newer versions of DNSCrypt proxy *can* cache lookups (via plugin); make the wording more neutral wrt. why one might want to run the proxy in a forwarding setup.

<title>DNSCrypt client proxy</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The DNSCrypt client proxy relays DNS queries to a DNSCrypt enabled
|
|
upstream resolver. The traffic between the client and the upstream
|
|
resolver is encrypted and authenticated, mitigating the risk of MITM
|
|
attacks, DNS poisoning attacks, and third-party snooping (assuming the
|
|
upstream is trustworthy).

To enable the client proxy, set
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
services.dnscrypt-proxy.enable = true;
|
|
</programlisting>

Enabling the client proxy does not alter the system nameserver; to
|
|
relay local queries, prepend <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> to
|
|
<option>networking.nameservers</option>.

<para>
|
|
To run the DNSCrypt proxy client as a forwarder for another
|
|
DNS client, change the default proxy listening port to a
|
|
non-standard value and point the other client to it:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
services.dnscrypt-proxy.localPort = 43;
|
|
</programlisting>
