- config files will work as long as you are at version 1.8.0 or newer (definitely recommend a newer version)
- BlockIPV6 requires a plugin (a separately compiled program). The version you are using was compiled without plugin support.
- AFAIK, all the Cisco dnscrypt servers are logging servers (the are marked as such in the resolvers csv)

I'm on version 1.9.1 and starting the proxy with a config file does not work:
Code:
dnscrypt-proxy /path/to/dnscrypt-proxy.conf
Code:
[ERROR] Support for plugins hasn't been compiled in

Im using the default conf file from github and ive modified the resolver only
 
Localcache On was the culprit, and that's why I was getting the error. But now I figured out that although you can refer to a conf file when starting the proxy, like this:

Code:
ENABLED=yes
PROCS=dnscrypt-proxy
#ARGS="/jffs/configs/dnscrypt-proxy.conf"
PREARGS=""
DESC=

If you have the domain blacklisting, BlockIPv6, or Localcache options enabled then it generates an error about plugin support not being enabled.

Who builds the dnscrypt-proxy for use with merlin/Entware? I wonder if it would be possible to compile with plugin support enabled (assuming ldns lib is available). That would give me the blacklisting option so I could skip family shield.
 
If I have NTP Daemon for Asuswrt Merlin installed do I still need to install fake hwclock?

Thanks.

Yes - better to have it.
 
If I run all DNS queries via strict mode through my always on VPN, is there any advantage to running Dnscrypt?
 
almost 2 years from the last reply, but anyway. I have the same question - I'm using DNS addresses from my VPN provider. does it make any sense to use dnscrypt?
