Maybe history will show that it is just time for the change/fall of Empire, and so this is how it happens. Whatever the cause, it makes me sad to see this. Maybe it is perhaps coupled with a lack of moral fibre and a lack of backbone to stand up for the principles involved, I don't know - but that might explain it. That it is allowed to happen at all seems to signify a general ignorance, a malaise. However, what I find amazing is that the American political "leaders" and the people seem to be the ones doing their level best to kill it in a sort of slow dance of death, or they are apparently standing idly on the sidelines discussing it as observers, whilst it happens in front of them. There seems to be a unique and rather valuable set of humanitarian principles of freedom and democracy enshrined in the latter - a set of principles that all humanity could well rue the death of. Insofar as it is (or might be) construed as being "political", I gather that the point being made is that this business would seem to run contrary to the American Constitution. This is not about any particular person or president or party but about principles and limits. This is not about short-term damage to political prospects but about long-term damage to democratic ideals. It’s a digital stop-and-frisk, using data trends and a few successes to do huge damage… Many innocents must be violated so that a few guilty people can be stopped. We are told that this has helped to keep us safe, and that any loss of civil liberties and sense of privacy is but collateral damage, inconsequential in the grand sweep of things. This is a “Papa knows best” approach to security policy. Blow in the Opinion Pages of the NY Times (entitled Of Slippery Slopes): (my emphasis) There's a very level-headed point made in the middle of a post on HotAir about this, referring to a post by Charles M. That's why I belatedly got around to doing the OpenDNS + DNSCrypt - Mini-ReviewĪnd I wouldn't call this "political" either, though politically-inclined bigots of any persuasion could no doubt try to use it as such.

It would seem that encrypted DNS and personal security/privacy are inextricably intertwined.

Unless you have somehow got some UAC settings peculiar to either or both of the two executables, then, fingers crossed, this password check should do the trick. Select the Log On tab and ensure that the correct user account Password and corresponding Confirm Password have been entered, thus: (click the Apply button after making any necessary changes) Open up the Services control window ( Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services), click once on any service and then type "open" - you will be taken to the OpenDNSCrypt service.ĭouble-clicking on that will open up the Properties for that service. OpenDNSInterface.exe - the UI that provides a Systray icon (right-click to open the interface's window).

I would therefore suggest that you inspect the security settings for your PC relating to OpenDNSCrypt, which runs as two processes in the system (visible in Windows Task Manager):

You (or whoever installed OpenDNSCrypt on that PC) could have (probably inadvertently) created that situation. If you were the one to set security settings up on your PC in such a way as to get/force the system UAC permission request, then that (the UAC request) would not be a feature of DNSCrypt per se. I have never experienced any problem of the sort you describe with OpenDNSCrypt loading automatically after system bootup. This is from my experience of having installed DNSCrypt (now up to version 0.0.6) on two laptops with: (I have put this in some detail so that anyone reading this and who has the same problem should be able to follow it, regardless of expertise.) So, don't bother signing up at all (even for their normal service per Option #1) and you're probably most private, as their DNS servers (plaintext and encrypted) are open no matter what. OR you can have it not log anything (no record of DNS queries is thus maintained).

For these features you have to sign up for the account, which also offers a DNS client (you install it on your PC) to update your dynamic IP address at home (so it can track you as your IP address dynamically changes).
