Joe,
I too am normally an early adopter, and had run DNSCrypt for nearly two months without issue while at home in the States.
I suspect my challenge with DNSCrypt was because my network access over here is so uncommon....i.e., PPPoE over WiFi.....and because DNSCrypt inserts its' special network adjustments below the GUI, I was unable to network correctly over here until I made a completely new network location which had never had DNSCrypt installed. The "Automatic" location contained the original PPPoE network interface which remained in-place from my last trip over, but once re-activated with current userID and password, proved unusable.
Having run the DNSCrypt uninstaller script to remove the PrefPane and Menu Bar packages, re-run the 10.7.2 Combo updater, then totally reinstalled 10.7 from scratch and applied the 10.7.2 Combo --- all without success, I finally found the solution after several days' of effort.
