DNSCrypt

Protocol and tools for encrypting DNS traffic

About DNSCrypt

DNSCrypt is a protocol that encrypts DNS communications between a client and a resolver to prevent spoofing and snooping. You can deploy it with common tooling such as Docker or a standard package install and integrate it with the systems you already run. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
