---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 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.
