dnscrypt-proxy and OpenVPN

nrUCm

hi,

i am currently running dnscrypt-proxy (https://github.com/opendns/dnscrypt-proxy) on my local machine and am
accessing my openvpn server via viscosity. viscosity has its DNS set to localhost/dnscrypt-proxy. this works quite
well so far, but i would prefer not running dnscrypt-proxy on my local system.

could anybody give me any pointers on how to have my openvpn server do all the heavy lifting? i had a read through
quite a few websites by now, but cannot make any sense of it. wouldn't it in theory be enough to install and run
dnscrypt-proxy, then edit my server.conf to push the respective IP address? usually i'd just try it out, but this is a
production server with clients on it, so i don't want to break anything...

i would appreciate any help whatsoever 🙂

'heavy lifting' as in make my openvpn server use dnscrypt-proxy. as i detailed in my first post, right now i am using dnscrypt-proxy on my local machine connected to an openvpn server; i would like to use dnscrypt-proxy directly on the server in combination with openvpn. then connect with my local machine to the server and have dnscrypt-proxy working.

or is this what bind is for? would i not even need dnscrypt-proxy then?

(posting my server.conf wouldn't make much sense, since it's pretty generic...)
