---------------------------------+--------------------------------
I've created a port of dnscrypt-proxy version 1.4.2:
A protocol for securing communications between a client and a DNS
resolver.
dnscrypt-proxy provides local service which can be used directly as your
local resolver or as a
DNS forwarder, encrypting and authenticating requests using the DNSCrypt
protocol and passing
them to an upstream server.
The DNSCrypt protocol uses high-speed high-security elliptic-curve
cryptography and is very similar
to DNSCurve, but focuses on securing communications between a client and
its first-level resolver.
While not providing end-to-end security, it protects the local network,
which is often the weakest
point of the chain, against man-in-the-middle attacks. It also provides
some confidentiality to DNS queries.
