DNScrypt abandoned by the main maintainer
Posted: 26 Jan 2018, 14:54
dnscrypt.org has been a dead link lately or redirected to the competition.
The reason given is that the maintainer does not use it anymore.
What he uses instead? A VPN that encrypts the DNS traffic.

Your DNScrypt installation and resolvers will still work as intended and it looks like someone is trying to fork it.
The new site is https://dnscrypt.info (I have edited the Arch wiki to reflect this) and the old resolver list is still available here
So there is no reason to give up on your dnscrypt install at this point.
It is an open question if it is a point to work with security issues when the very CPU of most computers is insecure and exploitable despite DNS encryption and VPN....
The conclusion is clear and depressive:
There is no such thing as being anonymous or safe in the internet at all times - under the current conditions.
