[Dnsmasq-discuss] Suggestion: DNSCrypt

[Riley Paxton]

Awesome!

The problem is, I'm not a developer. Well, I know some C, but not *that* well.

I was looking around, and I stumbled on a Git repo called "dnscrypt-wrapper". It has been 2 years since the last update, but I think the code itself is still good enough.

Link here: https://github.com/Cofyc/dnscrypt-wrapper

Specifically, I was skimming over "dnscrypt.c" and "dnscrypt.h" files.

It is BSD licensed, and the code is simple enough that it could be rewritten as GPL, I think.

It is also written in C, so I suppose the semantics of the code can be looked over by others. I wonder if this will work?

If anyone out there wants to take a crack at it, I hope it will help.

It also appears to depend on libsodium, so that will also add another dependency to dnsmasq (I do not think libevent is needed).

So that dependency is something to consider, especially if the dnsmasq aurhor/developers are not comfortable making their own encryption library. Haha.
