Encrypt Decrypt using Dnscrypt on Ubuntu

Question

Is there a good guide for encrypting decrypting using Dnscrypt on Ubuntu?

Solution 1

You can install Dnscrypt using ppa:shnatsel/dnscrypt PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shnatsel/dnscrypt

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dnscrypt-proxy

Solution 2

Here is how I got it working with OpenDNS

I got it to work with DNSCrypt.org client

• libsodium4_0.4.5-0~trusty5_amd64.deb
• dnscrypt-proxy-1.4.2.tar.gz
• install them with gdebi-gtk

Nether in official ppa yet for Ubuntu 14.04 had to download them from:

• https://launchpad.net/~shnatsel/+archive/ubuntu/dnscrypt/+files/libsodium4_0.4.5-0~trusty5_amd64.deb
• https://launchpad.net/~shnatsel/+archive/ubuntu/dnscrypt/+files/dnscrypt-proxy_1.4.0-0~oldconf2%2Bsaucy1_amd64.deb

Set DNS address 127.0.0.2 network tools KDE

sudo start it sudo service ddclient restart 
sudo service network-manager restart

Does not work. The 3rd command. This is the result. sudo apt-get install dnscrypt-proxy E: Impossible find packet dnscrypt-proxy
