DNSCrypt server with vultr.com

After you have registered at vultr.com and successfully logged in. Click on Deploy New Server.

Then you have to select the location of your server. In this example I choose: Frankfurt

Select Server Type: Application -> Docker -> Cent OS 7

The 5$ variant is quite sufficient

Download and copy the following startscript (type Boot): dnscrypt_install.sh

Choose a server name and click on Deploy Now

Note: This name will automatically be the name of your resolver

The server will restart after a few minutes. Go have a cup of coffee and wait 5 - 10 minutes!

Log in via SSH (the IP address can be found in the vultr. com web interface).

You can find your stamp (and all other keys) here: cat /root/keys/provider-info.txt

In somecases if you want to run dnscrypt-proxy as a non-root user you'll get the error "[FATAL] listen udp 0.0.0.0:53: bind: permission denied"

to solve this problem you can run the following command and allow dnscrypt to have access to a low level port :

sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep $(which dnscrypt-proxy)
