Installation on Gentoo Linux

The generic instructions for Linux should work fine on Gentoo Linux.

However, Gentoo also ships with a package in its main repository:

emerge dnscrypt-proxy -av

Activate and start the service:

• With OpenRC

rc-update add dnscrypt-proxy default
rc-service dnscrypt-proxy start

• With systemd

systemctl enable dnscrypt-proxy.service --now

Check that the service successfully started:

• With OpenRC

rc-service dnscrypt-proxy status

• With systemd

systemctl status dnscrypt-proxy.service

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)
