DNSCrypt is a piece of lightweight software that everyone |

The dnscrypt-proxy provides local service, which can be used directly as your |

local resolver or as a DNS forwarder, encrypting and authenticating requests |
3 |
by encrypting all DNS traffic between the user and OpenDNS, |

using the DNSCrypt [1] protocol and passing them to an upstream server. |

preventing any spying, spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks. |

The DNSCrypt protocol uses high-speed high-security elliptic-curve cryptography |
|
|
6 |
and is very similar to DNSCurve [2], but focuses on securing communications |
7 |
between a client and its first-level resolver. |

While not providing end-to-end security, it protects the local network, which |
10 |
is often the weakest point of the chain, against man-in-the-middle attacks. |
11 |
It also provides some confidentiality to DNS queries. |
