dnscrypt¶

A recent change (specifically 2.0.44-5) removed Fedora’s systemd files and falls back to dnscrypt-proxy’s installation method for service files instead. However, if that dnscrypt-proxy no longer starts, you may need to follow the instructions I posted here:

Hi, the latest changes to the RPM removed the systemd files and falls back to dnscrypt-proxy’s method instead. I ran into this issue myself. Since dnscrypt-proxy doesn’t overwrite the existing service file, the one previously shipped with Fedora will cause dnscrypt-proxy to not start.

Try removing /etc/systemd/system/dnscrypt-proxy.service and re-run sudo dnscrypt-proxy -service install.

Since the RPM no longer uses sockets, you might need to edit the config as well to specify listening addresses:

listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:53', '[::1]:53']
