Once your request reaches the OpenDNS servers, you can be reasonably assured that you’re making a legitimate connection to the website you’re trying to reach. It does so by providing a better DNS server than the one your ISP provides by default.
In a nutshell, OpenDNS improves your web browsing security by giving you greater assurance that the website you are connecting to is the one you intended to connect to. This is similar to, but not the same as, HTTPS encryption of web traffic (SSL/TLS). DNSCrypt is an additional service layered on top of OpenDNS that helps protect against vulnerabilities presented by “DNS leaks.” It does so by encrypting DNS traffic to ensure that it can’t be intercepted by a hacker or a man-in-the-middle.
