About:
dnscrypt-wrapper is a server-side utility that wraps existing DNS resolvers to add DNSCrypt protocol support. It enables encrypted DNS queries between clients and servers, protecting against eavesdropping and DNS spoofing attacks. This tool allows operators to secure legacy DNS infrastructure without replacing the entire resolver.

Key Features:

Adds DNSCrypt support to existing DNS servers
Uses libsodium for high-performance cryptographic operations
Lightweight proxy architecture with minimal overhead
Compatible with standard DNS resolvers like Unbound and BIND

Use Cases:

Securing DNS queries on private networks
Adding encryption to existing DNS infrastructure
Protecting against DNS spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks

Alternatives:

dnscrypt-proxy – Client-side counterpart; dnscrypt-wrapper focuses on server-side encryption
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) – Alternative encryption protocol; DNSCrypt offers better performance for some use cases

Dependencies: libevent, libsodium
