Last month or so, the main GitHub repo for DNSCrypt randomly got deleted. It wasn't until several days later, the author posted a tweet saying he/she are not supporting it anymore.
Now it has seemingly been resurrected...after I have already configured my server to use a new project called getdns (and stubby).
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/
I normally use WireGuard and use a DNS server supplied by that. If WireGuard is offline, I automatically use DNSCrypt.
Been using it for years, but did not know of the recent episode. Leaves you wondering..
