dnscrypt-winclient's future

[ldgbc]

This application is the only reason I was able to use DNSCrypt properly without too much of a hassle. So thank you for making it.

With DNSCrypt v1.6 it seem the data structure is changed, no longer it use separate folder such as follow:
\bin
\include
\plugins

It all in 1 folder now (with subfolder);
\dnscrypt-proxy-win32-full-1.6.0.zip\dnscrypt-proxy-win32
\dnscrypt-proxy-win32-full-1.6.0.zip\dnscrypt-proxy-win32\include

It been over a year since any update or sign of life from dnscrypt-winclient. So will these change affect how dnscrypt-winclient work? Is it still compatible or fully functional? Furthermore with the v2.0 being finalize dnscrypt-winclient will even drift further.

Is there any plan to update (if necessary) or is this project dead.

Thank you.

The directory structure change isn't a big deal since it only impacts plugins, which I don't fully support. The new features added to DNSCrypt Proxy 1.6.0 probably aren't things that I will support:

• Ephemeral keys for every query
• Public key client authentication
  Those aren't features your average user will need.

DNSCrypt v2.0 isn't much of a concern. It is the underlying protocol that the proxy uses. A few flags may get changed around, but it will hardly be anything that requires substantial changes to support.

The main reason this project has been inactive is that there hasn't been any demand for new features and that it is still compatible with the latest version of the proxy. There is one outstanding bug that I have yet to reproduce, which is also a low impact bug.

@deviant2 Please don't hijack unrelated issues, just make your own. In your case, it sounds like you really want to run the proxy with changes that the GUI does not support. I don't currently support plugins or passing commandline parameters directly into the proxy. I would suggest you look here: https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/blob/master/README-WINDOWS.markdown#advanced-usage and direct any questions to their issue section: https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/issues

"LocalAddress"="127.0.0.1:53"
; ican put what ever i want to listening port number

; (2) i want to block website, i found "libdcplugin_example_ldns_blocking.dll" how to load it ?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\dnscrypt-proxy\Parameters]
Plugins=libdcplugin_example_logging,G:\software.win\dnscrypt-proxy-win32.log

; END

Restart service : "dnscrypt-proxy.exe"
DONE!
