Well, actually, I've
reinstalled dnscrypt three times (three different versions) and this error usually appears when the system starts up. Often, the task has to be restarted two or three times! How can I fix this error so that it goes away?
I'm attaching the config.

1. Having some failures is not a big deal. It only shows the failures by default.
2. The request data seems to be malformed. Maybe digging out where it comes from is more important. is the initial testing packet, with random data padding.

I am writing through a translator, so I admit that it may be expressed in a confusing way. To elaborate a little more, the problem is a periodic connection failure in the dnscrypt proxy. That is, it is not my computer, not the network, but the dnscrypt proxy itself that is glitching, Windows Server 2025 system. I don't see such problems on Linux, it's Windows that has some kind of problem. It's as if something doesn't load in time, some modules in the dnscrypt proxy, I don't know. Maybe some kind of check or something else needs to be added to the code. This problem has been going on for years, many people complain about it, but there is still no solution. And it's very annoying. Because periodically, when I restart my computer, the dnscrypt proxy just tells me to go to hell and that's it. It's useless to wait, it won't connect on its own, I have to restart the service, sometimes 2-3 times, for it to finally connect. Sometimes it can work normally for a week. I don't know what the problem is.

server_names = ['cloudflare']

Your config sets only 1 server. That is fragile! Add at least one more as an alternative.

Using DoH servers unavailable at your location will get the error.

Even better: keep that list empty as in the default configuration and the best servers will be automatically selected.
