In all fairness, their "work" is based on djb's (dnscurve). In fact, the entire company OpenDNS was built off of dnscache. And djb gives it all away fro free.

In all fairness, their "work" is based on djb's (dnscurve). In fact, the entire company OpenDNS was built off of dnscache. And djb gives it all away fro free. That's what I call community. If your "cute little DNS server at home" is dnscache, then I'd say you're on equal footing with OpenDNS. And if you configure CurveDNS or some other implementation of dnscurve then I'd say you're achieveing everything you could achieve with DNSCrypt. And it won't cost you anything... like OpenDNS spying on your queries and serving you ads. The truth is, there are hardly any authoritative servers on the internet that support encrypted queries from dnscurve clients; dnscurve, as impressive as it is, remains obscure. If you're worried about someone sniffing or modifying queries off the wire as they travel from OpenDNS's or your home dnscache server to authoritative DNS servers, you'll have to restrain yourself to querying an extraordinarily small number of domains that have configured dnscurve. All other queries will fall back to being sent unencrypted. Why not just do TCP queries over SSL?
