By Preview Release they really mean beta version.
In the intro to the installer it is noted:
"You're testing DNSCrypt – A first-of-its-kind service that encrypts all DNS packets between your computer and OpenDNS."
It might be wise to wait for the ultimate version.
I think "
Preview Release" inherently means no more advanced than beta, and why are you averse to installing one? (I never ran it, but OS X 10.0 was essentially a beta.)
I've run numerous betas with no ill effects (although I did have one close call), and it's bug reports from beta testers that generate ultimately (hopefully, fully) functional products.
I understand your reluctance, but I and others have been running DNSCrypt for a while now with no performance issues, although I don't think we can ever really determine that it is actually doing what it claims to do. (Edit: We can only be certain that it isn't.
).
Heck... It could be an alpha!
