DNScrypt Public Access

[shadowspire]

I am wanting to my own secure DNS server that I can use on my Android phone from anywhere.

I have DNScrypt setup to listen on port 853 because that is what Android wants to you use by default.

Things look great when I point my Android to my LAN IP while connected to my internal network.

When I disconnect from my network to use the cellular network, I am not able to resolve anything.  Although, I can see successful connections on my WAN interface.


Am I just doing something wrong here?  Could I be trying to force a square block through a round hole?

Where does this run? Did you forward port 853 for it? Plain DNS uses both UDP and TCP but not sure what DNScrypt does.

DNScrypt is running locally on my opnsense device.
