    I might. I've been meaning to start a project.

    Open source doesn't mean free though, my 'business model of choice' would be open source.

    Naturally I wouldn't charge for this though.

    The big reason I wouldn't do this is because I assume they'll be doing it themselves. I was actually thinking of using my old Droid Eris and porting BackTrack 5 to it, which would be way cooler.

    Not long ago guest had supplied a link to a utility provided by GRC (Gibson Research Corporation) which measures the DNS response time. I picked the fastest at the time. Google which was my choice turned out to be very slow for my geographical position.

    Yeah, I know open source != free. :)

    But, what better way to do something if not by needing it? :) That's how I started learning Powershell and scripting with it; I needed things to be done, without requiring third-party tools. :D

    After all, you complained you wanted a GUI, and if they don't give it to you, and you got the knowledge, then why not do it (and share, if you'd like to)? :D

    True. Could be fun. I haven't looked at gtkmm/+ at all.

    Decided I'll probably end up writing the DNSCrypt GUI and release it. I think it'll be fun. Thanks for the idea m00n.

    Only my ISP. Never felt the urge to use another one.

  15. I'll give you a case of beer if you make a Linux GUI for DNScrypt which we can download from Ubuntu's repo :D

    I use DNScrypt on Linux and Norton on Windows btw.
