Another innovation from those overachievers at OpenDNS; namely, DNSCrypt, the company’s latest foray into protective DNS client-side applications, encrypting all traffic to the OpenDNS nameservers, from, at this time, Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS: AAPL) MAC OS X systems.
Currently utilizing the released bits on the MAC and found it to be a well-behaved, network encryption product. Albeit the pre-release versioning, and the inability to keep persistent settings (users must re-enable default encryption post-reboot. After all, this is pre-release). Outstanding.
“…In the same way the SSL turns HTTP web traffic into HTTPS encrypted Web traffic, DNSCrypt turns regular DNS traffic into encrypted DNS traffic that is secure from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. It doesn’t require any changes to domain names or how they work, it simply provides a method for securely encrypting communication between our customers and our DNS servers in our data centers. We know that claims alone don’t work in the security world, however, so we’ve opened up the source to our DNSCrypt code base and it’s available on GitHub…” - OpenDNS
