I use this as a local dns resolver in combination with a blacklist and a whitelist to do DNS-level ad/tracker blocking. Works pretty well.
I see people here are using some DNS switchers in macos, but you can also configure an extra 'location' in your networking configuration. My default location uses the dnscrypt-proxy server I run locally and another uses CloudFlare, for the rare occasions where things break. I haven't had anything break really, but sometimes you want to test certain things and it is useful to be able to switch quickly.
- dngray 7y agoI have mine configured on my router: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Linux_Router_with_VPN_on_a_Raspberry_Pi#Unbound_DNS_forwarder_with_dnscrypt https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Linux_Router_with_VPN_on_a... My DHCP server hands out the router's IP as a DNS server, then that DNS server forwards through the VPN to my VPN provider's DNS server, or to my DNSCrypt servers. The good thing about it is it works on every host no matter what platform, configuration, application without any installed software. When I am out and about I just use a VPN on my phone and use the accepted DNS server pushed to me (which is an internal one to my VPN provider).
