My normal advice would be to talk to dnscrypt-proxy upstream or the
supplier of your dnscrypt-proxy package... but if you're running Ubuntu
16.04, then you should have version 1.6.1, and this bug already appears
to have been fixed before 1.6.1. So I'm not sure what you're doing, or
where your dnscrypt-proxy.{socket,service} came from.

The change you need appears to be
<https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/commit/f20d71fb863b6d1f4588b6b175efa9f2fd331d90>,
and maybe
<https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/commit/cdc497bb7cbb13f6dd4ad2b49ce8eeda83ea984d>
if that isn't in the version you're running.

It's dnscrypt-proxy.{socket,service} in /usr/lib/systemd/system or
/lib/systemd/system depending on distribution, although you can copy
them into /etc/systemd/system to make local modifications (or use
"drop-ins", see systemd.unit(5)).
