I can't seem to get DNScrypt service to start.

Windows 10 Home
Version 1709
Build 16299.192

Works beautifully here. Can finally stop using powershell scripts :) One bug is that after using the remove service option in advanced settings it does not indicate that the services are removed.

Good here on win 10 1709 pro. I had to reinstall the 127.0.0.1 dns address. Will try soon on home edition.Not currently using ipv6, need to get back in that.

DNScrypt service still will not start for me. If i manually open the dnscrypt-proxy.exe it will run only if i don't close the .exe screen.

[bitbeans]

@evilvibes have you tried uninstalling an old version? also try to stop the service if it is already installed?
There is now also a log folder, is there an error log?

[evilvibes]

@bitbeans Yes i did tried all that been trying to get it to work for few days now. Had a look i don't see a log folder.

[evilvibes]

Well after all that i had to go into regedit and manually delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\dnscrypt-proxy

I now have it running.

Running excellent here. Will have to evaluate in detail later. Thank you again for this Most Excellent project.

[evilvibes]

Yup no issues at all now that i have it running. Awesome work @jedisct1 & @bitbeans

When browsing to web sites in Chrome, I frequently get an "ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED" message. However, if I wait a few seconds, it automatically refreshes and the web page loads?!?! There is no rhyme or reason to it. It does not happen every time, but frequent enough to be annoying. Another observation, I just tried to refresh an already open tab and received the error message.

Weirdly, with the stable 0.4.5 version (haven't tested the alphas, sorry), the dnscrypt-proxy service does not seem to get properly installed/registered here. I am unable to start the service and, contrarily to the previous 0.4.3 version, no dnscrypt-proxy services are present in the Windows Services list. Any clue? (I removed the older version before installing the 0.4.5, just to be sure.)

Also, you are probably aware of this, but some translation strings are still unavailable to be translated! Other than that, thank you for your work!

Windows 10 x64, v1709

[bitbeans]

@medack are there any logs? C:\Program Files\bitbeans\Simple DNSCrypt x64\logs

[alfazaki]

@medack i have the same problem with the stable version 0.4.5 in my windows 10 pc, can't find any log at program files either

[bitbeans]

@medack @alfazaki maybe you have the same problem as @evilvibes

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\dnscrypt-proxy

[alfazaki]

@bitbeans thanks for your response, i tried @evilvibes tips delete
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\dnscrypt-proxy

and to make sure i do it 2 times and tried to install/uninstall/restart pc
i checked at services.msc DNSCrypt client proxy Failed to Read Description. Error Code:2
service still not running, everything normal in previous version, any other tips?

[bitbeans]

@alfazaki yes, open a shell and check the output of:

cd "C:\Program Files\bitbeans\Simple DNSCrypt x64\dnscrypt-proxy\"
.\dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service install

[pratinhos]

@bitbeans Yep, that done it, but with a small modification in your line:
dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service install

May be this is also wrong in the setup routine?

[bitbeans]

@medack was there an error in the output? hmm yes i will check this again later.

this is the current uninstall: https://github.com/bitbeans/SimpleDnsCrypt/blob/master/Uninstall/Program.cs (any improvement is welcome) :)

[pratinhos]

@bitbeans Yes, with the extra "-", got an "Unknown action" from the dnscrypt-proxy.

My programming skills are relatively limited, but I will take a look at it. Just a question: why do we have now that service uninstall option? Doesn't it make sense only when you uninstall Simple DnsCrypt?

[bitbeans]

@medack it`s not a new option: https://github.com/bitbeans/SimpleDnsCrypt/blob/master/img/old/advanced.png

[pratinhos]

@bitbeans True! I guess I didn't need to tweak anything in SimpleDNSCrypt for so long that I forgot what the advanced options looked like. Anyway, just a heads-up: updated a few minutes ago to 0.4.7 and everything is working well so far. Fantastic work, thank you!
