error with running anonymized dns

[xtoes]

Using linux mintOS gnome shell.

This is my first time setting up an encrypted DNS and been trying to set the anonymized DNS feature. I configured the file to my liking though when I run a command, for example ./dnscrypt-proxy -help, it returns with an error saying Segmentation fault (core dumped). I tried looking online but no luck, I also tried this website but still no luck. Here's some system error logs I received, if they provide any helpful context:

[ 6554.380678] dnscrypt-proxy[16189]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000466944 sp 00007ffe684c0860 error 4 in dnscrypt-proxy[400000+3e1000]

Also can anyone provide some commands that checks to ensure dns is running, where its running from, etc? Thanks.

I'm not Linux user. But, are you using the proper binary?

[xtoes]

Yea I'm sure I used the correct one but maybe I can try different packages later on.

As @lifenjoiner said, it looks like you downloaded a package for DragonflyBSD, which is a different operating system. You need to download one for Linux.

[xtoes]

Yea, I downloaded dnscrypt-proxy-linux_x86_64-2.1.5.tar.gz which should support my system as other software binaries worked but later I can probably try downloading different ones see which work.

What does the following command print?

sha1sum /home/ittos/dragonflybsd-amd64/dnscrypt-proxy

[xtoes]

Did it print the hash?:
