Provide a DNSCrypt client for Android phones.

Smart-phones are greatest users of wireless hot-spots and Android phones are largest group of these.

OpenDNS has skills in Linux which is O/s underlying Android, so should be able to write such an app.

I saw changelog of release 0.10 DNSCrypt saying that they changed a library allowing easier porting onto Android.rnSince this is on GitHub, hope someone does the porting.

Especially the new Google Nexus 7 tablet, which can use any (secure or insecure) WiFi network. THANKS!

dnscrypt runs on Android, and binaries are available on Github. This requires a rooted device, though, and there is no way around.

Have no Android dev experience, but I wonder if a workable approach would be to implement a user-space VPN connnection used as a "firewall" similar to how the mobiwol android app does. Perhaps implement as a real VPN similar to what is done on the iOS clients now. Potential for something like what mobiwol does is that it might be able to identify which specific app(s) are making C&C or malware calls.
