Guide | How To How to Encrypt Your DNS for More Secure Browsing

Hi Guys
We all know the benefits of third.party DNS servers . and there is one additional benefit it's the ability to encrypt all of your DNS requests for protection for you from anybody who's trying to spy on you .
DNScrypt is the best solution from OpenDNS. so enough talking and let's get to work
First thing you need to do is download this instalation package Here

Now you have to creat a folder in your desktop called DNScrypt

Now let's get to work
1) Open an elevated command prompt as administrator
2) enter the following command
cd “C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\DNSCrypt\bin”

Now you'll need to install the proxy service to that enter this :
dnscrypt-proxy.exe --resolver-name=opendns --resolvers-list="C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\DNSCrypt\bin\dnscrypt-resolvers.csv" --test=0

If your CMD window looks like the image above re-enter the same command but change test=0 to install
dnscrypt-proxy.exe --resolver-name=opendns --resolvers-list="C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\DNSCrypt\bin\dnscrypt-resolvers.csv" --install

3) Change your DNS Setting

Change the Preferred DNS server to “127.0.0.1” then click “OK”

open the TCP/IPv6 settings and change the DNS settings to “::1”

congrat Now you have successfully and completely secure and encrypted DNS connection

I was looking for a way to do this a while ago, but had no luck... might give it a shot with this tutorial... thanks a lot!

What happens if the user has a TAP Driver? Or doesn't it matter since the VPN has its own DNS addresses?

My VPN is about to introduce their own in-house DNS addresses... So, how to fully uninstall DNSCrypt? (or is swapping --install with --uninstall enough)
