was proposed and deployed by a Cloudflare competitor. So, no.

Bad reasoning. You think we'll not deploy HTTP/2 because the head of the committee works for Akamai? Cmon.

DNSCrypt needs a secure resolver and client software. CloudFlare doesn't have either of those things which rather hampers us deploying DNSCrypt.

Behold:

* https://dnscrypt.org/

* https://github.com/bitbeans/SimpleDnsCrypt

I'm sure with Filo on your team you could make that happen.


How are cloudflare going to distribute this proxy to end users?


I don't understand your question. I'm asking if they can consider supporting it and help browser vendors (i.e. Firefox) support the client side of DNSCrypt.

What does CloudFlare have to distribute?


Can you at least give me credit for not saying "EXTRA! EXTRA! INTERNET'S LARGEST DDOS PROTECTION SERVICE SUPPORTS DEPLOYMENT OF INTERNET'S WORST DDOS AMPLIFIER"? :)


Just this once.


OpenDNS will happily send you queries over DNSCrypt. Thats like 3-4% of the internet right there.

They also open sourced client implementations for end boxes to talk to them or any other recursive securely.

jedisct1 is also looking for work right now, he'd happily implement it all for you I'm sure.
