Hi!

The GitHub repository for dnscrypt-proxy was simply moved from my personal GitHub account to the DNSCrypt organization. GitHub automatically adds redirections when a project is moved, so this should be transparent.

dnscrypt-proxy 2 is actively supported since it was released in January 2018. What has been EOL'd is the legacy dnscrypt-proxy 1.x client, after having been supported for 7 years.

The protocol itself is also still evolving, with the recent introduction of a lightweight alternative to Tor in order to hide IP addresses: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-protocol...

Besides the main website https://dnscrypt.info, there is a subreddit for announcements: https://www.reddit.com/r/dnscrypt/

What happened to DNSCrypt-OSXClient Preferences? It was suddenly pulled from Homebrew.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I don't use Bitbar, and I'm wondering about what happened with that Homebrew Cask. Why was it pulled, and why was the orig. pulled?

I normally use WireGuard and use a DNS server supplied by that. If WireGuard is offline, I automatically use DNSCrypt.
