Well that's why it is confusing because the dnscrypt-proxy does more than just old skewl dnscrypt. It does all the modern encryptions as well except for DoT. In light of that, i think you would be better posing this question to the developer of dnscrypt-proxy. Maybe you can convince a name change to the service the proxy provides. I believe the only reason dnscrypt is in the name is because that is the original encryption the developers started with along time ago, but idk why they still keep the name. Probably because it is the name it's users are most familiar with. If you are really interested you can click over to their features section to get a general feel of what the proxy offers. https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy#features
@sfx2000 while dnscrypt v2 (the version of dnscrypt used by dnscrypt proxy v2) is not IETF supported, there have been several documentations published and submitted related to it's RFC standards, and dnscrypt v2 protocol is considered by some to be a mature and robust protocol with no known vulnerabilities or practical attacks against its underlying cryptographic architect. DNSCrypt proxy v2 is actively maintained and has extensions like Anonymized DNSCrypt to further enhance privacy by hiding the originating IP address of the user.
Dnscrypt Proxy V2 takes this a bit further by offering a Oblivious version of DoH.
