:drama:
Hmmm... What to think of it. Partly positive because I like OpenDNS technologies, and now they get more money to work with it probably. On the other hand, the future might bring changes I don't like.
I currently use OpenDNS with DNScrypt. Works great.
probably ties in to this stuff

Bad move. I hate that song.
As a previous and current customer that went through the acquisition, I can say it has been painless and unremarkable, both of which are good things. Also, our annual renewal did not go up in price this year.
