title: DNSCrypt
---
# DNSCrypt
DNSCrypt[^1] is a protocol that encrypts, authenticates and optionally
anonymizes communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. It
prevents DNS spoofing. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that
responses originate from the chosen DNS resolver and havent been
tampered with.
It is an open specification, with free and open source reference
implementations, and it is not affiliated with any company nor
organization.
Free, DNSCrypt-enabled resolvers are available all over the world.
