DNSCrypt

I have a DNSCrypt server running out of a Digital Ocean droplet in BLR1 region. If you are within India, this might be a nice DNS server to use. I recommend using this only for personal machines (and not enterprise setups).

Connection details are:

ResolverName captnemo-in

Alternatively, if you don’t have the resolver in your DNSCrypt version (it was added around Jan-2018), then you can use:

ProviderName    2.dnscrypt-cert.captnemo.in
ProviderKey     9e73d8703b423edbcacb8c4a1456048f16dcd977e8a329de203054991c90234b
ResolverAddress 139.59.48.222:4434

The above IP is a Floating IP (which means it won’t change even after server restarts or dies).

The DNS Stamp is:

sdns://AQcAAAAAAAAAEjEzOS41OS40OC4yMjI6NDQzNCCec9hwO0I-28rLjEoUVgSPFtzZd-ijKd4gMFSZHJAjSxsyLmRuc2NyeXB0LWNlcnQuY2FwdG5lbW8uaW4

The server is running dnscrypt-wrapper dnscrypt-server-docker with QNAME Minimization Enabled.

Uptime

This is currently considered stable for production use. It is expected to be up at all times aside for scheduled and emergency maintainence.

The total cumulative downtime for the service throughout 2019 (As of May 2019) is 10 minutes.

The planned uptime is 99.99%. There is no SLA provided, since this is a personal service.

You can monitor the uptime of the same at status.captnemo.in.

Please see /dns/privacy for the Privacy Policy, Transparency Guidelines, and Operating Principles of the resolver.
