## SOCKS proxy
## Uncomment the following line to route all TCP connections to a local Tor node
## Tor doesn't support UDP, so set `force_tcp` to `true` as well.

## Use the REFUSED return code for blocked responses

## On non-Intel CPUs such as MIPS routers and ARM systems (Android, Raspberry Pi...),
## the following suite improves performance.
## This may also help on Intel CPUs running 32-bit operating systems.

## Keep tls_cipher_suite empty if you have issues fetching sources or
## connecting to some DoH servers. Google and Cloudflare are fine with it.

## Fallback resolver
## This is a normal, non-encrypted DNS resolver, that will be only used
## for one-shot queries when retrieving the initial resolvers list, and
## only if the system DNS configuration doesn't work.
## No user application queries will ever be leaked through this resolver,
## and it will not be used after IP addresses of resolvers URLs have been found.
## It will never be used if lists have already been cached, and if stamps
## don't include host names without IP addresses.
## It will not be used if the configured system DNS works.
## A resolver supporting DNSSEC is recommended. This may become mandatory.
##
## People in China may need to use 114.114.114.114:53 here.
## Other popular options include 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.

## unconditionally use the fallback resolver.

## initializing the proxy.
## Useful if the proxy is automatically started at boot, and network
## connectivity is not guaranteed to be immediately available.

## The proxy will remain fully functional to respond to queries that

#        Route queries for specific domains to a dedicated set of servers        #
##################################################################################

## Example map entries (one entry per line):
## example.com 9.9.9.9

# forwarding_rules = 'forwarding-rules.txt'



###############################
#        Cloaking rules       #
###############################

## Cloaking returns a predefined address for a specific name.
## In addition to acting as a HOSTS file, it can also return the IP address
## of a different name. It will also do CNAME flattening.
##
## Example map entries (one entry per line)
## example.com     10.1.1.1
## www.google.com  forcesafesearch.google.com

# cloaking_rules = 'cloaking-rules.txt'

## Enable a DNS cache to reduce latency and outgoing traffic

#        Query logging        #
###############################

## Log client queries to a file

[query_log]

  ## Path to the query log file (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)

  # file = 'query.log'


  ## Query log format (currently supported: tsv and ltsv)

  format = 'tsv'


  ## Do not log these query types, to reduce verbosity. Keep empty to log everything.

  # ignored_qtypes = ['DNSKEY', 'NS']



############################################
#        Suspicious queries logging        #
############################################

## Log queries for nonexistent zones
## These queries can reveal the presence of malware, broken/obsolete applications,
## and devices signaling their presence to 3rd parties.

[nx_log]

  ## Path to the query log file (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)

  # file = 'nx.log'

#        Pattern-based blocking (blacklists)        #
######################################################

## Blacklists are made of one pattern per line. Example of valid patterns:
##
##   example.com
##   =example.com
##   *sex*
##   ads.*
##   ads*.example.*
##   ads*.example[0-9]*.com
##
## Example blacklist files can be found at https://download.dnscrypt.info/blacklists/
## A script to build blacklists from public feeds can be found in the
## `utils/generate-domains-blacklists` directory of the dnscrypt-proxy source code.

[blacklist]

  ## Path to the file of blocking rules (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)

  # blacklist_file = 'blacklist.txt'


  ## Optional path to a file logging blocked queries

  # log_file = 'blocked.log'


  ## Optional log format: tsv or ltsv (default: tsv)

  # log_format = 'tsv'



###########################################################
#        Pattern-based IP blocking (IP blacklists)        #
###########################################################

## IP blacklists are made of one pattern per line. Example of valid patterns:
##
##   127.*
##   fe80:abcd:*
##   192.168.1.4

[ip_blacklist]

  ## Path to the file of blocking rules (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)

  # blacklist_file = 'ip-blacklist.txt'


  ## Optional path to a file logging blocked queries

  # log_file = 'ip-blocked.log'


  ## Optional log format: tsv or ltsv (default: tsv)

  # log_format = 'tsv'



######################################################
#   Pattern-based whitelisting (blacklists bypass)   #
######################################################

## Whitelists support the same patterns as blacklists
## If a name matches a whitelist entry, the corresponding session
## will bypass names and IP filters.
##
## Time-based rules are also supported to make some websites only accessible at specific times of the day.

[whitelist]

  ## Path to the file of whitelisting rules (absolute, or relative to the same directory as the executable file)

  # whitelist_file = 'whitelist.txt'


  ## Optional path to a file logging whitelisted queries

  # log_file = 'whitelisted.log'


  ## Optional log format: tsv or ltsv (default: tsv)

  # log_format = 'tsv'



##########################################
#        Time access restrictions        #
##########################################

## One or more weekly schedules can be defined here.
## Patterns in the name-based blocklist can optionally be followed with @schedule_name
## to apply the pattern 'schedule_name' only when it matches a time range of that schedule.
##
## For example, the following rule in a blacklist file:
## *.youtube.* @time-to-sleep
## would block access to YouTube only during the days, and period of the days
## define by the 'time-to-sleep' schedule.
##
## {after='21:00', before= '7:00'} matches 0:00-7:00 and 21:00-0:00
## {after= '9:00', before='18:00'} matches 9:00-18:00

#        Servers        #
#########################

## Remote lists of available servers
## Multiple sources can be used simultaneously, but every source
## requires a dedicated cache file.
##
## Refer to the documentation for URLs of public sources.
##
## A prefix can be prepended to server names in order to
## avoid collisions if different sources share the same for
## different servers. In that case, names listed in `server_names`
## must include the prefixes.
##
## If the `urls` property is missing, cache files and valid signatures
## must be already present; This doesn't prevent these cache files from
## expiring after `refresh_delay` hours.

[sources]

  ## An example of a remote source from https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers

  prefix = "quad9-"

  ## Another example source, with resolvers censoring some websites not appropriate for children
  ## This is a subset of the `public-resolvers` list, so enabling both is useless
