Overview

Simple DNSCrypt is a lightweight but incredibly powerful online security app that surfaces advanced techniques used to mask your online browsing habits and makes them available even to the PC novices. Built under open source development environment and regularly updated with new features, this app enables anyone to easily configure dnscrypt-proxy on Windows-based PCs and devices and quickly encrypt DNS lookups.

DNS is a core feature of internet browsing which regulates what internet addresses you wish to access and translating your string-based requests (the URLs of the websites) into a proper numbered address (ranging from 0.0.0.1 to 256.256.256.256) that are actually used to identify online locations. By introducing an added security to your online presence, you can not only prevent unauthorized access to your browsing history to malicious monitoring apps and remote hackers but also prevent your ISP of easily tracking your online habits. This is especially true if you have transferred your DNS processing to a secure 3rd party service that does not share its database with anyone.

It comes in a small and smartly designed package that features just a single configuration window and few tools for monitoring and securing the state of your DNS data transfer. The app can detect all your present network adapters, showcase a listing of secure DNS servers, and offer easy to access toggles for activating DNSCrypt service. In the advanced settings of the app, users can refresh the public resolver list, activate transport settings, install plugins, and uninstall service. If you wish to completely secure your DNS traffic, you can even route your connection via additional secondary DNS resolver.

Simple DNSCrypt is a simple to use security application that will protect your online sessions on Windows OS against unauthorized man-in-the-middle attacks. Advanced users that want to add even more security measures should be aware that this app does not allow adding new custom resolvers.

Simple DNSCrypt is 100% FREE and available on all modern versions of Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10).
