DNSCrypt fails (red icon / Unprotected) several times per day

[seedvision]

Hello,

Thank you for DNSCrypt.

I have noticed over the years that there never seems to be any update, is this usual?

Also, DNSCrypt fails (red icon) several times per day on my computer which is running Windows 8.1 x64.

I have tried running DNSCrypt with and without TCP / 443 enabled and that does not seem to make any difference.

I also have used it with free and paid VPN services and DNSCrypt still fails with them as well.

Sometime the green icon turns red for a few seconds and sometimes for a minute and a half or more, when this happens is my internet traffic trackable, even though my VPN which uses openvpn is still working? Is there any way to automatically suspend all internet traffic when DNSCrypt fails (red) and reconnect when it is green again?

Thanks again,

NS
