This tutorial has been succesfully tested on: DNSCrypt and OpenDNS intend to keep you more safe online.įollowing are some links for more information about DNSCrypt and OpenDNS: In a nutshell, it sets up a local DNS forwarder on your computer that encrypts all DNS traffic between your computer and your DNS resolver, which will be OpenDNS instead of your ISP. This tutorial describes how to install and set up DNSCrypt (dnscrypt-proxy with dnsmasq). I haven't delved into this yet, so if anybody has I welcome feedback on needed changes to the tutorial. Possibly the below information, about disabling NetworkManager's dnsmasq instance and starting your own DNSCrypt and dnsmasq, may still be useful with that. You'll need to download the source code from, and follow the instructions there on how to compile DNSCrypt yourself. This makes this tutorial currently not usable.Įasy installation using your package manager is therefor no longer possible, as was detailed below. deb file downloads are no longer available.

Please follow that tutorial instead, as the below no longer works. Update Dec 11 2013: Previous1 has added the steps to compile DNSCrypt yourself and get it working, see this topic.

Update Jan 14 2015: tommyb linked to an up to date guide on WebUpd8 for setting up DNSCrypt on Linux Mint 17.x.
