Why didn't you report this to Malwarebytes instead?

I created a support ticket at Malwarebytes and they responded that after having reviewed the IP's it was confirmed there were no active threats remaining and the block has been removed. These IP's are part of the public DNSCrypt resolvers list and apparently at some point the IP's may have contained malware prior to being used by DNSCrypt.
