leakage (whenever NXDOMAIN happens), which is why I nowadays have it commented.

For the curious my dnscrypt-proxy config [is in my shell-things repository](https://github.com/Mikaela/shell-things/tree/master/etc/dnscrypt-proxy) [mirror](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/shell-things/src/branch/master/etc/dnscrypt-proxy).

## 2019-07-22 update
I have also started performing local DNSSEC validation by running Unbound
in front of DNSCrypt-proxy, so my queries go resolv.conf -> Unbound ->
dnscrypt-proxy -> configured resolvers. This has the advantage that if the
resolver didn't perform DNSSEC validation or lied about performing it, the
protection by DNSSEC would still be received.
The steps are simple:
1. `sudo apt install unbound`
* You should see a file `/etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/root-auto-trust-anchor-file.conf`
which simply says `server:` and on another line after intending
`auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/lib/unbound/root.key"` (the path varies
by distribution) which means it's performing DNSSEC validation with
those trust anchors.
2. `sudo nano /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/dnscrypt-proxy.conf`
```
do-not-query-localhost: no
forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 127.0.2.1@53
```
3. `sudo systemctl restart unbound`
4. Ensure `/etc/resolv.conf` points to `127.0.0.1` and optionally `::1`
instead of `127.0.2.1` where dnscrypt-proxy runs by default. For more
details, CTRL + F for resolv.conf or chattr.
