I had an issue where no dns lookups were routed to dnscrypt. (tested with nslookup, whicuh always used an IPv6 resolver)

So I found out that Windows used the ipv6 dns servers to resolve the domain names. But putting ::1 into the nameserver config of the Ipv6 interface does not work. I assume "dnscrypt-proxy" does not support Ipv6.

It seems in v1.6.1 a vulnerability was fixed.

OpenDNS users and people using dnscrypt-proxy in order to block domain names and IP addresses should upgrade as soon as possible.

So I think upgrading would be a good idea.

A message windows apppear: Warning Failed to refresh the public resolver list

Can you Improve update checking because at the moment it only checks and alerts users of new updates if the application has been opened and not while it is running in the background.
Which leads to users missing lots of updates unless they open the software and check for themselves.

Thanks

First of all, THANK YOU, for creating a much more simple to use interface for DNScrypt.
I have been using the older versions for years now and have been hoping someone would make this more practical for the average person to use.

Installed on a clients computer, things worked fine for a few weeks.
He reported to me no internet access, after walking him though a few simple things, he returned the computer to me for maintenance.

After uninstalling then reinstalling simplednscrypt, I noticed that the dns proxy was set to 127.0.0.2. After I set it to .1, all was fine again... fyi.

Thank you again.

Nice job you are doing!

I can't wait for the Secondary resolver support and IPv6 support features!

Also is it possible the resolver list do be automatically downloaded everytime Simple DNSCrypt is run, because right now, when I download it, I need to restart the program so that the new resolvers appear in the dropdown menu
.
Thank you for your efforts!

Seems like setting the DNS setting is not working for unplugged adapters. Even when it's checked, the adapter setting page still obtaining the DNS server automatically.

Also, when toggling the hidden adapters view, the checkmark disappears (maybe because it re-read the settings?)

Followed the update prompts in Simple DNSCrypt to upgrade to 0.3.1. and obtained the above error on restart.

The installer seems to have pulled in the x64 version of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 instead of the x86 version as a dependency.

For HiDPI screens, Windows compensates the extra resolution increasing text size.

A scrollbar should appear on the right side, otherwise one can't enable the service.

So I just installed the latest update and the GUI defaulted to Indonesian instead of English...

Hi,

Enjoying Simple DNSCrypt which has just been smoothly updated from 0.29 to 0.30. Need to say this is an awesome application bringing the highest ease of use to DNSCrypt. Wonderfully carried out.

I hope I'm not trespassing the issue section when providing a simple question, aiming to use DNSCrypt's ability to block IPs & domains

I read on https://dnscrypt.org/ that one of the plug-ins provided with the application allows to block IPs and domains recorded on a simple text file.As I've understood it the plug-in is libdcplugin_ldns_aaaa_blocking.dll included with Simple DNSCrypt of course.

This plug-in is not made directly accessible from Simple DNSCrypt and I'd wish to know how to proceed manually to use it, as I haven't quite understood the procedure mentioned on https://dnscrypt.org/ paragraph IP/domain names blocking

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Thank you for give us the nice software. I know the SimpleDnsCrypt get resolvers from website https://dns.d0wn.biz/, but dnscrypt-resolvers.csv miss ns1.hk.dns.d0wn.biz(China Hong Kong), I don't know why. I get an idea add the resolver to dnscrypt-resolvers.csv, but it update each time after the software startup and the add custom added item missing. So please kindly check the issue.

Thank you!

I started up SimpleDnsCrypt this morning and noticed there was an upgrade. I did the upgrade, had the installer close dnscrypt-proxy.exe and install. Now I am greeted with the following error, and clicking OK just gives me the standard Windows dialog that simplednscrypt has stopped working and will close.

I uninstalled the program and made sure the entire bitbeans folder was removed, and then reinstalled and the same issue occurs.

edit: Win 10 x64
edit2: reverting back to 0.3.1 works ok

After installing the latest binary of this on Windows 8.1 x64, I received a .dll error that made SimpleDNSCrypt crash with a stack trace when attempting to run it. Googling the error led me to a different Github issue that was resolved. To resolve this, download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and install it.

Suggested solution: Maybe include this VC++ distributable and install it if not already installed.

After each update the primary resolver is reset to the France one. This is bad. SimpleDnsCrypt should remember the setting of the previous installation.

issues uninstalling software after it began to not work, what should I do, here is the screenshot of the error I am facing.

Can you add support for the subscriptions that uBlock the add on use because it is very time consuming to add every URL or IP to the block list currently.

Also can you add a block page notification like uBlock for if a user visits a blacklisted URL or IP directly, that will alert users that the URL or IP has been blocked and with an option to temporally allow the page.

Thanks

When I tried to install this on a test VM without internet connection I got this error:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 12007. The arguments are: https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x86.exe, , 
Error 4153. Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x86 mandatory prerequisite was not correctly installed.
=== Logging stopped: 2/16/2016  4:22:05 ===

Before the UAC request it showed me basically the first line and afterwards it showed me the second error. I assume this problem occurred, because it could not download Visual Studio 2015 x86.
But in this case it should at least display a more meaningful error message and probably also provide the download link, so that the user can click on it and install it manually.

Will be great if Unbound can be included, set up, and auto updated with this software too. Though it should be optional at installation

I have noticed that once in a while a resolver will not respond or be unavailable causing a lack of web access. I would suggest allowing the user to choose several backup resolvers, 5 or more, so that if the primary, or secondary, or whatever fails, the next resolver in line will become active. Maybe a visual notification that 1. The resolver has failed or is unavailable, and 2. That a new resolver is being used.
This would prevent losing web access due to resolver failure, hopefully.

Thank you

Some of my cards (especially "Ethernet", which I need) doesn't get listed even if I enable show hidden cards

Also, I can't scroll if the window size is too small (as in screenshot) so I need to enlarge manually, which is not good in design?

Can you add another tab called traffic that shows you the live traffic that is currently being processed like peer block has, instead of the log file.

Should we keep the window opened after enabling DNSCrypt service?
If we have to, could you please provide a button for minimizing to tray?

We need to wait for the new dnscrypt-proxy release

Allow user to specify custom resolvers

By default a scroll bar is shown:

If one resizes it only a few pixels it works.

Every time I want to use TorBrowser I have to totally deinstall the program (stopping the service usually does not help) I don't exactly understand why is this happening since Tor does not need any external DNS service. If one starts Tor while SimpleDNSCrypt is on, TorBrowser hangs in the middle of bootstraping
Wondering if its only me who has this problem. Can anybody confirm?

After the update 0.2.8 -> 0.2.9 I get these error messages.
A new install did not help. Had to uninstall and go back to 0.2.8.

Simple DNSCrypt should create 64bit version after DNSCrypt 1.7.0 released.

Hello, when Panda URL Filtering is installed along Simple DNS Crypt, the internet doesn't work and Chrome says that there is a DNS bad config.

Hello,

Client 0.3.0 crashes, file vcruntime140.dll missing. My System Win 8.1 64bit, Visual C++ 2015 is installed.

Best regards

Seen from official DNSCrypt download server, the public resolver list is updated everyday, so Simple DNSCrypt should adding an new option in advanced settings to let users follow this change.

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but the last couple days the resolver list will not download and gets an error message.

It would be nice to be able to change the service port so DNSCrypt works with Unbound on a local machine, for example.

I'll periodically open Simple DNSCrypt 0.3.1 and my laptop's Wifi card is not selected but the Primary DNSCrypt Service button is on. re-selecting my DNS fixes the issues until it gets unselected again. I'm not sure when or what unselects it though. If you need anymore information just let me know.

After updating SimpleDnsCrypt to 0.3.4 the UI language was surprisingly changed to Indonesian.

So after changing it back to German this title here is not updated:

So the "live translation" is not yet working here.

Can you add a DNS benchmark facility to find the fastest DNS available to you.

Can you add more information about each DNS option.

Can you add a check option to make sure your DNS traffic is being rooted correctly.

Can you also add a traffic tab so you can view life DNS requests being made.

Tested on:

• Windows 7 32 bit
• Windows 7 64 bit
• Windows 8.1 32 bit
• Windows 8.1 64 bit
• Windows 10 32 bit
• Windows 10 64 bit

Bug reports

1. It doesn't clear 127.0.0.x from network interface after turning off the server (Primary DNSCrypt Server > Switched off)

EDIT: I can clear 127.0.0.1/2 by unchecking network interface. But it should do it still when turning off the server.
::
2. Little cosmetic glitch.

1. Go "Advanced Settings" > 2. Press "Open Plugin Manager" > 3. Press "OK". Now you will see "working" animation (sry limited english) under "Global Resolver" and "Transport Settings". It should do that under "+Plugins" or do nothing. Anyway nothing serious, perfection stuff.

Question

1. How to use SimpleDnsCrypt when connected directly through PPPoE? Broadband Connection aka PPPoE is not select-able. So only choice left is to select LAN and start service. Still getting hijacked by ISP DNS.

Hello, The Client 0.2.9 crashes, report see picture. Win 8.1. Client 0.2.8 is ok.

Adding new features: proxy settings
If area network is a critical review. All dns address is blocked. You need to use the software functionality through a proxy server.

I am using 0.2.9 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I have updated to the newest list of resolvers. It doesn't matter which ones I use, it seems many sites can't be resolved until I disable DimpleDNSCrypt. I can re-enable it again later but it will stop at random times. I have chosen 10 different servers to test and get the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you
