The morning was spent in experiments on cygwin bypass using the methods described in the article
“Quick-start: GitHub via Tor” .
The second method works great, but with the help of it you can’t, say, install plugins into vim using Vundle. The third way does not work. In the case of a call on http, it reports that it does not, and when https complains about an SSL certificate. And, of course, inconvenient to constantly launch the browser. Torsocks on Windows does not work.
I tried DNSCrypt. Everything was easy enough. I am by no means an expert, so I simply describe my actions.
On the site
dnscrypt.org/ download the archive and unzip it to some permanent place. The second step is to download the dnscrypt winclient program, the link on the main page of this site. There is a small ambush, because the binary is located on github.com. You have to download TorBrowser and go through it. In any case, a good thing and in our time is useful.

I could pour on some kind of drive, but I think that not only downloading an executable from untested places, but even giving a link to it is a sign of bad taste.
We place the downloaded dnscrypt-winclient.exe into the bin folder of the unzipped package, run this program as administrator, specify the network interface, optionally select the server on the second tab and install (Install) as a service (to do this, unwrap it) from the administrator).
The last step is to change the DNS server address. On Windows 8: Network Control Center - Change adapter settings - Properties - Internet Protocol Version 4 - Properties - Use the following addresses DNS server - 127.0.0.1
EVERYTHING.
When running on Windows XP, be aware that winclient requires .Net 2.0.
