DNSCrypt v2 and DNS-over-HTTP/2.

Features:

  - DNS traffic encryption and authentication. Supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)
 and DNSCrypt.

  - DNSSEC compatible

  - DNS query monitoring, with separate log files for regular and suspicious
 queries

  - Pattern-based local blocking of DNS names and IP addresses

  - Time-based filtering, with a flexible weekly schedule

  - Transparent redirection of specific domains to specific resolvers

  - DNS caching, to reduce latency and improve privacy

  - Local IPv6 blocking to reduce latency on IPv4-only networks

  - Load balancing: pick a set of resolvers, dnscrypt-proxy will automatically
 measure and keep track of their speed, and balance the traffic across the
 fastest available ones.

  - Cloaking: like a HOSTS file on steroids, that can return preconfigured
 addresses for specific names, or resolve and return the IP address of other
 names. This can be used for local development as well as to enforce safe
 search results on Google, Yahoo and Bing.

  - Automatic background updates of resolvers lists

  - Can force outgoing connections to use TCP, useful with tunnels such as Tor.");
