+between a client and a DNS resolver.  It verifies that responses you get
+from a DNS provider was actually sent by that provider, and haven't been
+tampered with.  For optimal performance it is recommended to use this as
+a forwarder for a caching DNS resolver such as @command{dnsmasq}, but it
+can also be used as a normal DNS \"server\".  A list of public dnscrypt
+servers is included, and an up-to-date version is available at
+@url{https://download.dnscrypt.org/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-resolvers.csv}.")
