Configuration

The proxy loads a configuration file, by default dnscrypt-proxy.toml.

This file will be looked for in the same directory as the executable file, as well as in the current directory.

Alternatively, the -config option can be added to the dnscrypt-proxy command in order to use a custom location.

In somecases if you want to run dnscrypt-proxy as a non-root user you'll get the error "[FATAL] listen udp 0.0.0.0:53: bind: permission denied"

to solve this problem you can run the following command and allow dnscrypt to have access to a low level port :

sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep $(which dnscrypt-proxy)
