Dear Maintainer,

According to the upstream source code ( https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-
proxy/blob/2.1.14/dnscrypt-proxy/config.go#L85 ), option "fallback_resolvers"
should be legacy but functional, but on 2.1.14+ds1-1+b1, option
"fallback_resolvers" is actually ignored, neither functional nor triggering the
warning ( https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-
proxy/blob/e27f9b8128827cad5b5c7c6b47a4902daf6b4c26/dnscrypt-
proxy/config_loader.go#L75 ) into its log. I should change the option name to
the latest "bootstrap_resolvers" to make it work.
