The procedure would be simple though:<br /><br />1. Get and Extract MakeService, see http://bitsum.com/other.php#makeservice<br />2. Extract dnscrypt-proxy.exe AND MakeService to a folder, e.g. c:\edns<br />3. Run something like:<br />cmd.exe<br />cd\edns <br />MakeService c:\edns\dnscrypt-proxy.exe /Name:dnscrypt-proxy /Displayname:dnscrypt-proxy<br />4. Do NOT delete this folder, or any files in it, else the service will cease to function.<br /><br />The dnscrypt-proxy.exe service will then be created, started, and set to auto-start on boot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336099339134840809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605857505516531350.post-35648396026312026862012-03-23T16:43:25.922-07:002012-03-23T16:43:25.922-07:00Sadly, it appears many may have suffered the fate ...Sadly, it appears many may have suffered the fate of my old MakeService - abused by malware authors and so removed to deter false positives ;o. However, here is ServiceEx - http://serviceex.com/ . It is freeware, though not that intuitive to use maybe. It is command line only, and uses an INI configuration for the service.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336099339134840809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605857505516531350.post-56461982047573715292012-03-23T16:33:23.172-07:002012-03-23T16:33:23.172-07:00Users should note FireDaemon is NOT freeware, actu...Users should note FireDaemon is NOT freeware, actually a bit expensive.

My little util (aptly named MakeService) never had a GUI anyway.<br /><br />I intend to soon add dnscrypt-proxy to a third-party firmware (OpenWRT) on an older router. This router will serve as an encrypted DNS server for my network. I imagine this work will be useful to many people once completed. Of course, ANY always-on PC could do the same, though perhaps leave a lot larger power footprint ;).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336099339134840809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605857505516531350.post-87103366765041391432012-03-22T19:32:26.802-07:002012-03-22T19:32:26.802-07:00Nice article, I had been wondering if IPv6 was wor...Nice article, I had been wondering if IPv6 was worth setting or disabling.<br />I've been eagerly waiting to give dnscrypt a try on Windows for some time.<br />For a while I've been using my own CentOS based VPN server with a reverse lookup rule in iptables that only allows me to connect from an address that has been updated to my IP at that time (DynDNS updater). But, I did want to put dnscrypt in place just in case the connectivity during travel wasn't fast enough or stable enough for VPN. To make dnscrypt run as a service I used FireDaemon.Colehttp://www.cole2k.netnoreply@blogger.com
