dns4.cc

crew operates a free, independent "network" of 9 DNSCrypt servers spread across the globe to keep your surfing safe and secure.

---

Personally, we strongly believe in freedom and the fundamental human right to remain anonymous if you wish.

Respecting this fact, all dns4.cc resolvers & anonymizing relays were, are, and always will be:

• PUBLIC & FREE TO USE
• SECURED BY DNSSEC
• NON-BLOCKING
• NON-LOGGING
• NON-FILTERED

All servers would be used as DNSCrypt public resolvers and/or anonymizing relays.

How to 🏁

To start using our network simply add the lists of dns4.cc servers and anonymization relays to your dnscrypt-proxy.toml config, restart the service and enjoy.

Right, we boldly assume that you already have dnscrypt-proxy installed on your 💻 and/or 📱. 😉 If not, visit the dnscrypt-proxy repo for more details and return back when you are done. Theory and other useful info can be found at the DNSCrypt website.

It's easy as:

1. Either download dns4.cc repository as ZIP or clone dns4.cc repository to anywhere like

   git https://git clone https://github.com/drkmark/dns4.cc.git
   

and copy all the files to dnscrypt-proxy working directory (i.e. /opt/dnscrypt-proxy/)

2. In [sources] section of your dnscrypt-proxy.toml configuration file you should add something like:

   a. dns4.cc public resolvers

   [sources.'dns4.cc-resolvers.md']
       urls = ['https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkmark/dns4.cc/main/dns4.cc-resolvers.md']
       cache_file = 'dns4.cc-resolvers.md'
       minisign_key = 'OUR-PUBLIC-MINISIGN-KEY-GOES-HERE'
       refresh_delay = 72
   

   b. dns4.cc anonymizing relays

    [sources.'dns4.cc-relays.md']
        urls = ['https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkmark/dns4.cc/main/dns4.cc-relays.md']
        cache_file = 'dns4.cc-relays.md'
        minisign_key = 'OUR-PUBLIC-MINISIGN-KEY-GOES-HERE'
        refresh_delay = 72

3. In [anonymized_dns] section then add routes as needed, i.e. (or as you wish):

    routes = [
        { server_name='dns4.cc-us-ca-ipv4', via=['anon-dns4.cc-us-ny-ipv4'], via=['anon-dns4.cc-us-tx-ipv4'] },
        { server_name='dns4.cc-vn-ipv6', via=['anon-dns4.cc-hk-ipv6'], via=['anon-dns4.cz-ipv6'] },
        .....
        ]

Btw. it's not necessary to be "superanonymized" over more than 1-2 relays, as the latency would increase dramatically. Just check and play with routes to test the latency, e.g. with DNS leak script from @macvk.

Read "/your/dncrypt-proxy/working-directory/"example-dnscrypt-proxy.toml for proper settings!
