Simple DNSCrypt does not really have any documentation.

To get it to work on Windows, this is what I did:

Main Menu
enable all under configuration
enable DNSCrypt Service – This is required! It's the on/off switch.
Network Cards
show hidden cards
enable Local Area Connection (or whatever yours is called)
enable VirtualBox Host-Only Network
leave Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 disabled
Resolvers
enable Automatic Mode
Advanced Settings
enable DNS Cache
disable Block IPv6
disable Force TCP
disable Global Resolver (I think)
Apply Settings after all of these.

I have not yet experimented with DNSCrypt Proxy's DoH (DNS over HTTPS).

VirtualBox compatibility

VirtualBox may be kind of fussy.

If it does not have network connectivity, try disabling and re-enabling VirtualBox Host-Only Network and applying settings. If that does not work, try restarting the appliance. If that doesn't work, try restarting VirtualBox.

Self-update

When you launch the app, it checks for new versions, and will not let you do anything until you install the update. So if you want to just change your current config, you are out of luck until you update.
