Research direction

Start with the SimpleDnsCrypt documentation and the linked dnscrypt-proxy discussion #1699 to understand how resolver selection works. Clarify how to remove or disable resolvers such as the faelix servers, what selecting a resolver changes, and which configuration controls the available list; the documentation is done when a user can follow it without guessing.

Description

As described in this dnscrypt-proxy discussion thread, Kaspersky Security Cloud keeps flagging dnscrypt-proxy.exe and trying to disconnect it. It gives me the following message:

Cannot guarantee authenticity of the domain to which an encrypted connection is being established
Event: SSL connection with invalid certificate detected
Application: dnscrypt-proxy.exe
URL: rdns.faelix.net
Reason: This certificate or one of the certificates in the certificate chain is not up to date.

If I try to ignore it, it pops up back up, sometimes immediately and sometimes after a few minutes. The only other option given to me is "Disconnect" which I'd rather not do, since I'm pretty sure that would stop dnscrypt-proxy from working properly.

In that discussion thread, they confirmed it was harmless, but I couldn't figure out how to make it stop happening (and since I use SimpleDnsCrypt on basically default settings, I didn't understand how to do it otherwise. I see several faelix servers in the list of available resolvers, but I don't know how to edit or remove resolvers from this list. (All the resolvers in the list are unselected, and to be honest I'm not sure what selecting one would change. I find the SimpleDnsCrypt documentation confusing and not particularly detailed, at least when it comes to what configurations affect what.)
