DNSCrypt client proxy service hang? #443

Open vertigo220 opened 4 years ago

vertigo220 commented 4 years ago

Just had an issue where I was disconnected while messaging with someone and pages wouldn't load, but a download that was going was fine, which had me confused until I tried a different browser that actually gave a useful error message referencing a DNS failure. So I tried loading SimpleDNSCrypt and it would show in the tray but it wouldn't open. After trying a second time, I went into services and stopped and restarted the DNSCrypt one, after which everything went back to normal. First time this has happened and absolutely no idea why. I dug through event viewer and didn't see anything around that time except the actual DNS query failures. Nothing related to the service itself having issues, though. So I'm not sure if anything can be done since there doesn't seem to be any info to provide, but wanted to bring it up just in case.

Just happened again, though this time I already had the interface running and it opened, so I stopped and started it through that.

Just happened again, TWICE in the past half hour or so. This time the service wasn't running, despite being set to restart automatically, nor could I start it via the app's interface, as doing so just kept failing and causing SimpleDNSCrypt to crash. It says a lot about something when it fails so often, in such a repeatable way, for so long that it becomes the first thought in troubleshooting. It's been 3.5 months since I first posted about this and there's been no response or fix. Apparently I'm wasting my time.
