DNSCrypt Incompatible with Oracle Application Express. Cannot uninstall DNSCrypt.
I'm using Oracle Application Express, to learn Oracle SQL.
I installed DnsCrypt for Windows, and Oracle XE stopped working at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950
Firefox says "Unable to connect", and Chrome says "127.0.0.1 refused to connect". (I'm using TCP/ipv4).
Because Oracle XE is my priority, I uninstalled DNSCrypt, but Oracle XE still refuses to work.
I have no problem opening a command line and working with
sqlplus username/password
¿Any clue about what could be wrong?
I tried manually setting a DNS (google DNS 8.8.8.8), and DHCP: everything seems to work, except Oracle XE.
About:networking on Firefox returns this info (I don't know what it means)
127.0.0.1 8080 false false 0 0
127.0.0.1 80 false false 0 0

I do not think that your problem is related to DNSCrypt, because DNSCrypt listens on 127.0.0.1:53, not on 127.0.0.1:80 or 127.0.0.1:8080. The problem seems to be with Oracle XE.
"Cannot uninstall DNSCrypt."
How this? You said you uninstalled it. What is the evidence that it isn't uninstalled?

Doesn't http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 means 8080 ?
To uninstall, I followed these instructions (Removing the software from the system).
I ran this command:
dnscrypt-proxy --uninstall
And then deleted the dnscrypt directory.
¿how can I check that it is uninstalled? -
"Doesn't http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 means 8080 ?"
Yes, it means that Oracle XE is to listen on port 8080. But DNSCrypt proxy listens on port 53, so no conflict and no impact. If you cannot connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950, then Oracle XE is not orderly running and doesn't listen.
"
