Simple Dnscrypt Need to stay open? #536

Does Simple DNSCrypt need to stay open on the system tray? Or is it more for editing, enabling the service and closing the application?

I ask because I noticed that I only seem to connect to the same two resolvers for a while now, even though it's set to automatic.

if you install windows service you will see a new process in task manager. also if you run a nslookup the name will be resolved through the localhost. So i believe the app itself is just a gui and doesn't need to always run in system tray (just my 2 cents. i'm new here)

$ nslookup wikipedia.org Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer: Name: wikipedia.org Address: 91.198.174.192

I prefer to use the best static resolver, like cloudflare.
