| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
dnscrypt-proxy listens for DNS queries on a local address and forwards
them to a DNSCrypt resolver over an encrypted channel.
To use this package, several things are required.
Customizing dnscrypt-proxy.toml
===============================
Ensure that ${SYSCONFDIR}/dnscrypt-proxy.toml fits your needs.
Resolvers
---------
Uncomment 'server_names' to have a smaller set of public resolvers to be used
for load balancing. If this line is commented, all registered servers matching
the require_* filters will be used for load balancing. Refer to
${LOCALSTATEDIR}/dnscrypt-proxy/public-resolvers.md for a list of all public
resolvers.
Load balancing strategy
-----------------------
Note the load balancing strategy, controlled by 'lb_strategy'. It can be
set to one of the following values:
- 'first' (always pick the fastest server in the list)
- 'p2' (randomly choose between the top two fastest servers)
- 'ph' (randomly choose between the top fastest half of all servers)
- 'random' (just pick any random server from the list)
'p2' is the default option. For more information, see
https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Load-Balancing-Options
Logging
-------
Logging is disabled by default.
To log to ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/messages:
log_level = 2
use_syslog = true
To log to a custom file:
log_level = 2
log_file = '${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/dnscrypt-proxy.log'
Daemon
======
Start the daemon:
# rcctl enable dnscrypt_proxy
# rcctl start dnscrypt_proxy
resolv.conf
===========
Set ${SYSCONFDIR}/resolv.conf to perform queries from dnscrypt-proxy:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
lookup file bind
Note: If your IP address is dynamically fetched, dhclient(8) will normally
update resolv.conf with network-provided DNS servers. This can be avoided by
using "ignore domain-name, domain-name-servers;" in ${SYSCONFDIR}/dhclient.conf.
