Summary: A protocol for securing communications between a client and a DNS resolver

Description: 

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.

Recommends: unbound or dnsmask
