Public bug reported:

DNSCrypt

A tool for securing communications between a client and a DNS resolver.

Description

dnscrypt-proxy provides local service which can be used directly as your
local resolver or as a DNS forwarder, encrypting and authenticating
requests using the DNSCrypt protocol and passing them to an upstream
server, by default OpenDNS who run this on their resolvers.

The DNSCrypt protocol uses high-speed high-security elliptic-curve
cryptography and is very similar to DNSCurve, but focuses on securing
communications between a client and its first-level resolver.

While not providing end-to-end security, it protects the local network,
which is often the weakest point of the chain, against man-in-the-middle
attacks. It also provides some confidentiality to DNS queries.
