uddr_linux_bootstrap

This script demonstrates the setup of Vercara's UltraDDR product on a Linux system, configuring it to use custom DNS over HTTPS (DoH) servers and routing system's DNS queries through dnscrypt-proxy for enhanced privacy and blocking.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu (I tested this on Ubuntu and adjustments may be needed for other Linux distributions)
• Python
• Sudo privileges

Installation and Configuration

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sbarbett/uddr_linux_bootstrap

2. Make the setup file executable:

   cd uddr_linux_bootstrap
   chmod +x setup.sh

3. Execute the script:

   sudo ./setup.sh {client_id)

   Replace {client_id} with your UDDR client UID (it's also called an install key in the settings).

Script Functions

• Installs dnscrypt-proxy.
• Stops/disables any existing dnscrypt-proxy service to prevent conflicts.
• Configures dnscrypt-proxy to use UDDR DNS resolvers linked to your client ID.
• Adjusts dnscrypt-proxy to listen on 127.0.0.5:53.
• Redirects the system's DNS queries to dnscrypt-proxy.
• Applies the configuration changes by restarting related services.
