Isn't one of OpenDNS main features watching your network to find suspicious activity. If your network is asking openDNS to resolve DNS of black listed servers or something it could throw up a red flag.

Apart from OpenDNS I'm guessing companies like ESET (Antivirus) will monitor network activity and look for streaming audio and trigger something? Or maybe that's a more tailored alert.

OpenDNS does not have a great record (do they still modify NXDOMAIN responses?) - are you sure you want to send them information about everything you're connecting to?

This is just untrue. Even when we modified NXD responses, we were always open about it and let people control their experience.

We are probably the fastest growing (revenue) security company in the market today, and our good reputation is a big part of it. I say fastest growing for at least companies north of $10m ARR. It's easy to be doing 1000% growth < $10m ARR. :-)

OpenDNS stopped messing with NXDOMAIN last year. https://www.opendns.com/no-more-ads/
