## Always use TCP to connect to upstream servers.

## On non-Intel CPUs such as MIPS routers and ARM systems (Android, Raspberry Pi...),
## the following suite improves performance.
## This may also help on Intel CPUs running 32-bit operating systems.

## and it will not be used after IP addresses of resolvers URLs have been found.
## It will never be used if lists have already been cached, and if stamps
## don't include host names without IP addresses.
## It will not be used if the configured system DNS works.
## A resolver supporting DNSSEC is recommended.

## and -1 to wait as much as possible.

## if the network is up. It can be any address and any port, even if

## Remote lists of available servers

## Refer to the documentation for URLs of public sources.

## A prefix can be prepended to server names in order to

## different servers. In that case, names listed in `server_names`

##
## If the `urls` property is missing, cache files and valid signatures

## Routes are indirect ways to reach DNSCrypt servers.
##
## A route maps a server name ("server_name") to one or more relays that will be
## used to connect to that server.
##
## A relay can be specified as a DNS Stamp (either a relay stamp, or a
## DNSCrypt stamp), an IP:port, a hostname:port, or a server name.
##
## The following example routes "example-server-1" via `anon-example-1` or `anon-example-2`,
## and "example-server-2" via the relay whose relay DNS stamp
## is "sdns://gRIxMzcuNzQuMjIzLjIzNDo0NDM".
##
## !!! THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES !!!
##
## Review the list of available relays from the "relays.md` file, and, for each
## server you want to use, define the relays you want connections to go through.
##
## Carefully choose relays and servers so that the are run by different entities.
##
## "server_name" can also be set to "*" to define a default route, but this is not
## recommended. if you do so, keep "server_names" short and distinct from relays.

#    { server_name='example-server-1', via=['anon-example-1', 'anon-example-2'] },
