DNSCrypt-proxy, VPN encrypted tunneling

[norainfallduckdog]

Distribution: Linux Mint 22
Browser: Librewolf
Verified: DNSCrypt-proxy using dnscheck.tools
VPS Service: Digital Ocean

Would someone throw out here some ideas on this subject?

It has to do with this https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/discussions/2742

Digital Ocean lets you create a VM as a distribution. For Linux Mint 22, it is the Ubuntu 24.04 as one of the selections. There are no dockers to choose. So from Google, the 'docker run' is used to create a running container from using a docker image. It is used with options, docker images, commands, and arguments. It is used for developing, shipping, and running apps in containers.

My question is: are dockers equivalent to VM servers?

From https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscryp...r-own-DNSCrypt-server-in-less-than-10-minutes, the section 'Install the DNSCrypt server':
docker run --ulimit nofile=90000:90000 --name=dnscrypt-server -p 443:443/udp -p 443:443/tcp --net=host jedisct1/dnscrypt-server init -N example.com -E 51.15.38.62:443

"docker run --ulimit nofile=90000:90000 --name=dnscrypt-server -p 443:443/udp -p 443:443/tcp --net=host jedisct1/dnscrypt-server init -N example.com -E 51.15.38.62:443" - Is this equivalent to creating an encrypted tunnel over SSH?

So DNSCrypt-proxy was installed and verified to have worked, so then now it is to see if DNSCrypt-proxy could be running with an encrypted tunnel over SSH using a VM. Would this be possible or just too much?

You don't need DNS-Crypt-proxy, which is a separate DNS software to encrypt DNS traffic via proxy server,
there is much more advanced and elegant solution called unbound which is a DNS resolver that supports encryption and DNSSEC without proxies directly to encrypter DNS servers.
You only have to set it up properly, the config file.
