I'm aware that similar issues were opened before - but there are still open questions, IMO.
The wiki says:
On the other hand that site contains the following statements:
... and:
English is not my native language so I might not be able to fully get it. But aren't above statements a bit inconsistent?
Don't make the second an third statements the first one void? And isn't the consequence from the third statement that
routes = [ { server_name='*', via=['*'] } ]
should actually not be problem?
I realize that there is a forth statement:
Why is that? If it comes to performance I understand that after booting my system it takes longer to test all servers compared to testing a limited set of server_names. But apart from this - are there other performance considerations? Load balancing of relays is not done by dnscrypt-proxy, AFAIK, so it's probably difficult to manually select the most performant ones.
And why is this approach suboptimal from a privacy perspective? Is the remark that "dnscrypt-proxy tries to choose relays so that they are not on the same network as the servers" a hint that this might not be reliable?
