Description

(Edited by @ainar-g to add the exact page where this could be added.)

It would be nice if AdGuardHome could resolve the SDNS stamps on the Encryption settings page, perhaps a minimal variant of this:

https://dnscrypt.info/stamps/

Even a read-only version would be quite useful. So far the user has no idea what the SDNS stamps point to unless they use an external tool to resolve it. I'm aware that they can just put in some comments, but being able to resolve the actual SDNS stamps would be even better. Please consider this as a low priority feature request, thanks.

Research direction
Focus on the Encryption settings page of AdGuardHome (likely a template file). Investigate the dnscrypt.info/stamps documentation to understand the stamp format. Consider implementing a read only decoder that parses the stamp and displays the resolved information, such as server address, protocol, and public key. Look for existing Go libraries that decode SDNS stamps to simplify the implementation.
