Hi

 

Is this possible? I was surprised when I checked at https://welcome.opendns.com and http://www.internetbadguys.com/ that it wasn't by default as I'd assumed that the two were linked, as per https://www.opendns.com/about/innovations/dnscrypt/.

I'm running Simple DNS Crypt 0.6.2 with DNSCrypt proxy 2.0.19 and using the automatic resolvers.

https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/DNS-server-sources has no mention of OpenDNS.

Any ideas?

  Yes, you can use DNSCrypt with OpenDNS.  The service uses to be called "cisco".  Not sure what the default is in Simple DNSCrypt if there's a default at all.

  The default is to use the fastest of all available servers, with the default settings to only use resolvers with various characteristics e.g. DNSSEC/without logging/without filter.

  I eventually worked out that if I unticked various server options e.g. use only servers with DNSSEC/no filtering/without logging then the Cisco ones showed up in the available resolver list, and could be selected, disabling Automatic mode.

  Thanks for the tip! :-)
