dnscrypt-proxy на mint

Here is the website that I give credit to for step by step instructions that helped me get to a working state with DNSCrypt with some step by step modifications and changes below.

Before proceeding you might want to Backup with Timeshift for safety and fast way to get back if there is a problem

#1. Install DNSCrypt

sudo apt-get install dnscrypt-proxy -y

#2. Install your favorite text editor

sudo apt-get install xed -y

#3. Change Resolver to ‘cisco’
Change the text «ResolverName fvz-anyone» to ResolverName cisco
If you have issues with this code changing the ResolverName like I did you can use sudo xed /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.conf and manually change it to your prefrerence

sudo sed -i 's/fvz-anyone/cisco/g' /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.conf

#4. Change DNSCrypt Local IP and Port
These codes Change 127.0.2.1 to 127.0.0.1 on both sockets in dnscrypt-proxy.socket.
If you have issues with these codes changing the DNS and port like I did you can use sudo xed /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket and manually change it to your prefrerence Credit to the fixed code goes to naishoya @ https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a8e04 … 8cbfedd60a

sudo grep '127' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo sed -i 's/127.0.2.1:53/127.0.0.1:53/g' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo grep '127' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket

#5. Reload Daemon for DNSCrypt Configuration

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

#6. Restart DNSCrypt Service

sudo systemctl stop dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo systemctl start dnscrypt-proxy

#7. Disable Default System’s DNS Service

sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo rm -v /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved.service

#8. Network Manager will recreate /etc/resolv.conf after a restart. This issue will prevent DNSCrypt working after a restart.
The fix was posted on the previous website in the comments section. Credit goes to genzj and Ngalim Siregar
To prevent Network Manager create /etc/resolv.conf after restart you can add dns=none in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in [main].

sudo xed /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

#9. Now go to your Network Manager «Wifi or Ethernet connection»
To edit your connection and go to «IPV4 Settings» Tab
Method: Change from «Automatic (DHCP)» to «Automatic (DHCP) Address Only»
Go down to DNS Servers: Add «127.0.0.1» without quotes (Note: If you changed the DNS IP to your own preferred preference in step #4. Change DNSCrypt Local IP you will need to match it here in Network Manager)

#10. Restart Network Manager

sudo service dnscrypt-proxy start
sudo service network-manager restart
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

Restart Cinnamon should work for the first time. If not do a full system restart

If you have no network connection after following all the steps above go back to step #4. Change DNSCrypt Local IP and Port to something like 127.0.0.1:53 or 127.0.0.2:53 sudo xed /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket Also go back to step #9 and change your Network DNS to the one you choose to change it to above.

Go to
dnsleaktest.com and do a test. All should work fine
You can also go to https://welcome.opendns.com/ to check if Opendns is working properly

Bash Code

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install dnscrypt-proxy -y
sudo sed -i 's/fvz-anyone/cisco/g' /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.conf
sudo apt-get install xed -y
sudo grep '127' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo sed -i 's/127.0.2.1:53/127.0.0.1:53/g' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo grep '127' /lib/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl stop dnscrypt-proxy.socket
sudo systemctl start dnscrypt-proxy
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo rm -v /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved.service

# Add "dns=none" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in [main] section without the quotes.
sudo xed /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

sudo service dnscrypt-proxy start
sudo service network-manager restart
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
