## [dnscrypt-proxy 2.0.0alpha10 is available for download!](https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/releases/latest)
## Installation
### Initial configuration
1) Modify the `dnscrypt-proxy.toml` configuration file according to your needs.
2) Make sure that nothing else is already listening to port 53 on your system and run (in a console with elevated privileges on Windows) the `dnscrypt-proxy` application. Change your DNS settings to the configured IP address and check that everything works as expected. A DNS query for `resolver.00f.net` should return one of the chosen DNS servers instead of your ISP's resolver.
### Installation as a system service (Windows, Linux, MacOS)
Type `dnscrypt-proxy -service install` to register dnscrypt-proxy as a system service, and `dnscrypt-proxy -service start` to start it.
Done. It will automatically start at boot.
This setup procedure is compatible with Windows, Linux (systemd, Upstart, SysV), and macOS (launchd).
Other commands include `stop`, `restart` (useful after a configuration change) and `uninstall`.
## Current status/features
The current 2.0.0 alpha version includes all the major features from dnscrypt-proxy 1.9.5 (support for dnscrypt v2, synthetic IPv6 responses, logging, blocking, forwarding and caching), with improved reliability, flexbility, usability and performance.
