 <title>DNSCrypt client proxy</title>
 <para>
  The DNSCrypt client proxy relays DNS queries to a DNSCrypt enabled upstream resolver. The traffic between the client and the upstream resolver is encrypted and authenticated, mitigating the risk of MITM attacks, DNS poisoning attacks, and third-party snooping (assuming the upstream is trustworthy).

  <para>
   To enable the client proxy, set
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.dnscrypt-proxy.enable"/> = true;
</programlisting>
  </para>

  <para>
   Enabling the client proxy does not alter the system nameserver; to relay local queries, prepend <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> to <option>networking.nameservers</option>.

  <title>As a forwarder for another DNS client</title>

  <para>
   To run the DNSCrypt proxy client as a forwarder for another DNS client, change the default proxy listening port to a non-standard value and point the other client to it:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.dnscrypt-proxy.localPort"/> = 43;
