That's interesting. How did it break your system?
I've been using it on OS X / macOS for years. Occasionally I'd run into an ISP that blocked it or a resolver that was slow or down but the software was always solid.
It messed up the network-manager/DNS iirc, though this was a while ago as I mentioned. The problem had something to do with the configuration of the Ubuntu package which was kinda fucked up so that didn't help matters, this is pre-16.04 so I'm hoping it got sorted out later on.
Yes it works, but the setup can get messy. It used to break Ubuntu for me (like beyond repair and needed a full reinstall).
I agree, I wish there was more consensus about how to lock down DNS traffic. It's surprising to me that it's taken this long to start getting mainstream recognition. DNSCrypt is probably best positioned to become a standard if anything. I'm going to give the latest version a try (the one that broke for me was a couple of years ago) hopefully it's better than before.
