Summary
Adding DNSCrypt-proxy-android for securing all DNS communications originating from /e/ mobile handsets.
Description
What is the current behavior?
DNSCrypt-proxy-android not available.
What is the improved behavior?
DNSCrypt-proxy-android installed and enabled by default.
What does it bring?
DNSCrypt wraps unmodified DNS traffic between a client and a DNS resolver in a cryptographic construction in order to detect forgery. Though it doesn't provide end-to-end security, it protects the local network against man-in-the-middle attacks.
It also mitigates UDP-based amplification attacks by requiring a question to be at least as large as the corresponding response. Thus, DNSCrypt helps to prevent DNS amplification attacks.
