DNSCrypt-Proxy won't start

[LOTRouter]

After upgrading to to 24.1.1, my DNSCrypt-Proxy fails to start.  I even downloaded the config and removed the DNSProxy section from it and restored the config without it, and then tried starting DNSCrypt-Proxy with nothing configured and it still won't start.  I'm seeing this in the log:

[2024-02-06 18:45:48] [FATAL] Unsupported key in configuration file: [fallback_resolver]   

[2024-02-06 18:45:48] [NOTICE] dnscrypt-proxy 2.1.5

This appears to be a fairly old problem with DNSCrypt-proxy:

Very strange, but I ended up un-installing the DNSCrypt-Proxy plugin, and then reinstalling it, and that downgraded it, and now it works.  I have no idea where in the upgrade process it got upgraded in the first place, but the uninstall/reinstall sequence seems to fix it.

[2024-02-06 20:27:45] [NOTICE] dnscrypt-proxy 2.0.45

I also was using port 5353 before, but that stopped allowing it to start as well, so I changed to 5053:

127.0.0.1:5053 [::1]:5053

It was reverted in 24.1.1 indeed. I saw the commit but didn't have time to dig and find and associated issue

Thanks for the follow up.  It looks like a fairly easy fix:

Why use DNScrypt? Unbound does DoT (yup, it works with dns.opendns.com also).

Fix will come in next update

I prefer DoH.  It's just a personal preference.
