From their own documentation [1] > The dnscrypt-proxy file is quite large, but can be compressed for a massive reduction of its size, from ~12 Mb down to ~2 Mb. Routers typically have 8-16 Mb of storage. Even 2 Mb is a bit much but even if the size doesn’t bother you the memory usage is still relatively extreme when compared to the link I shared.
