  2. If you don't already have Homebrew installed, install it by copy–pasting the following line in Terminal app and press enter/return key. Wait for the command to finish.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  1. Install dnscrypt-proxy by running:
brew install dnscrypt-proxy
  1. Run a DNS leak test: click the Standard test and ensure all DNS servers are owned by opendns.com.
