Nowadays with things like hunter.io its pretty easy to get that info from a company name. The API cross references other data so a name and company name could yield everything else.

Just set this up for my home network. Supplied my work email and a personal cell #. Within 20 mins, I received a phone call from them at my non-supplied work #. Guess I should have used my gmail address to avoid that.
Are you certain nothing auto filled that you didn’t expect or something like that because I’ve never had contact from them by means of something I did not supply. And I’ve signed up more than one account from more than one address
AFAICS. I went back and confirmed that my cell # was on file with them.

I didn't do a trial, I opened a personal account.
Is there a difference? I only saw the free trial option even for home use.

I didn't get a call, so I am not sure why then.

You don't have to deal with Cisco.

OK. In what ways do you deal with Cisco? I have never heard from them.

I would imagine the pricing cant be insane the direction it was taken before and after Cisco acquired it. Looking forward to trying it.

Didn't the price of OpenDNS skyrocket a few years ago? I through there was a conversation on ML about that a while back.

I feel like it was next to free 10 years ago, and when Cisco and Umbrella happened all the sudden tit was like paying for antivirus licenses. Crazy.

Yes. It was very reasonable for what it was prior to the acquisition. Cisco ramped up the pricing like crazy. They did the same to Meraki when they bought that company.

Cisco - where products go to get a massive price hike, and die.. or at least find crazy buyers to buy them.

@JaredBusch How is Strongarm treating you for home use? I am using OpenDNS right now for home (the free version) and have had zero issues so far.
It works fine. I have no issues because I am not getting any infections.
I have my ERL pointing to my Pi-Hole which points to Strongarm.
I've had a similar setup at home for about 6 months, and have been very happy with it. More so the Pi-Hole than Strongarm, because of the ad blocking. But I haven't had any issues or complaints about Strongarm. We've even purchased Strongarm at work about 3 months ago and have been very happy.
Also, with Strongarm for business, you do get web content filtering and reporting, which is pretty awesome. Users can even submit, suspicious emails and they are great about responding quickly with an analysis of the threat to the user that submitted it. We've been really happy with it.

You could get a PiHole and point it to StrongArm and get both.
