## Features
2022-08-03 15:31:57 +02:00
* DNS traffic encryption and authentication. Supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) using TLS 1.3 and QUIC, DNSCrypt, Anonymized DNS and ODoH
2019-10-29 13:13:56 +01:00
* Client IP addresses can be hidden using Tor, SOCKS proxies or Anonymized DNS relays
2018-02-04 12:00:24 +01:00
* DNS query monitoring, with separate log files for regular and suspicious queries
2018-04-03 17:59:15 +02:00
* Filtering: block ads, malware, and other unwanted content. Compatible with all DNS services
2018-02-04 12:00:24 +01:00
* 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.
2019-10-29 13:13:56 +01:00
* 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, DuckDuckGo and Bing
2018-02-04 12:00:24 +01:00
* Automatic background updates of resolvers lists
2018-07-02 00:40:08 +02:00
* Can force outgoing connections to use TCP
2018-04-03 17:59:15 +02:00
* Compatible with DNSSEC
2021-08-12 19:44:33 +02:00
* Includes a local DoH server in order to support ECH (ESNI)
