DNSCrypt

[dmd 0]

hi,

i have noticed that DNSCrypt ( http://www.opendns.com/technology/dnscrypt/ ) is not playing nicely with any of your VPN servers; it keeps disabling itself. is there any possibility for this to be fixed?

cheers

Hello!

When you're connected to our VPN server, your DNS requests are already encrypted, and a DNS server IP address is pushed (see also https://airvpn.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=74&Itemid=141). If you need to use DNSCrypt in conjunction with OpenVPN, you may try to send the DNS queries outside the encrypted tunnel and check whether DNSCrypt disables itself or not.

We recommend you to ask for support to OpenDNS too, since our setup is a typical hardened security OpenVPN setup.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

Kind regards

I setup using your tomato firmware guide here https://airvpn.org/tomato/

Is dns traffic encrypted in this case too?

If not could you please add to this guide how to dnscrypt with tomato?

 

Kind regards
