nmcontrol DNSCrypt support

We should look at what would be involved in supporting DNSCrypt. This might be as simple as shoving a proxy in the middle of the connection.

Is there any documentation on doing this the other way by configuring dnscrypt-proxy to forward .bit queries to nmcontrol? I am not using NameCoin yet and wouldn't want to use it as root or in a privileged port.

@Mikaela As stated in the repo description, NMControl is EOL; please try ncdns. (If ncdns is missing a feature from NMControl that you need, please file an issue in the ncdns repo about that.)

Oh, sorry and thank you, I only read the README. I ended up here via https://bit.namecoin.org/browse.html and tried to search for dnscrypt-proxy.

It looks like ncdns supports my scenario already if they are instructing using Unbound.

Ah. Yeah, we need to update the documentation on that page, I guess. Thanks for surfacing that.

Cool, glad to hear ncdns is a better fit for you.
