+  <title>DNSCrypt client proxy</title>
+
+  <para>
+    The DNSCrypt client proxy relays DNS queries to a DNSCrypt enabled
+    upstream resolver. The traffic between the client and the upstream
+    resolver is encrypted and authenticated, mitigating the risk of MITM
+    attacks, DNS poisoning attacks, and third-party snooping (assuming the
+    upstream is trustworthy).
+  </para>
+
+  <sect1><title>Basic configuration</title>
+
+  <para>
+    To enable the client proxy, set
+    <programlisting>
+      services.dnscrypt-proxy.enable = true;
+    </programlisting>
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    Enabling the client proxy does not alter the system nameserver; to
+    relay local queries, prepend <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> to
+    <option>networking.nameservers</option>.

+
+  <para>
+    To run the DNSCrypt proxy client as a forwarder for another
+    DNS client, change the default proxy listening port to a
+    non-standard value and point the other client to it:
+    <programlisting>
+      services.dnscrypt-proxy.localPort = 43;
+    </programlisting>
