+ <title>DNSCrypt client proxy</title>
+ <para>
+ The DNSCrypt client proxy relays DNS queries to a DNSCrypt enabled upstream
+ resolver. The traffic between the client and the upstream resolver is
+ encrypted and authenticated, mitigating the risk of MITM attacks, DNS
+ poisoning attacks, and third-party snooping (assuming the upstream is
+ trustworthy).
