About OpenNIC
No corporation should be able to say what websites are or aren’t available to us. By using our volunteer-provided DNS servers you no longer have to question your ISPs motives and can rest assured that your connection to the Internet is not being censored by your DNS servers. We are a nonprofit organization and do not charge money for access to our DNS services, including the proposal/request of new TLDs. Free to use, and completely operated by volunteers, so there’s no financial pressure to corrupt our organization. New volunteers welcome! Have you ever typed a wrong URL into your browser only to be met with an ISP-owned search page? The domain you tried to visit, ads you click, and the searches you do can all be collected by your ISP for any number of nefarious purposes. You can stop this behavior with OpenNIC servers, which lets DNS work the way it was meant to, in your control.

Google Public DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's phone book, every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day. Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers. If you decide to try Google Public DNS, your client programs will perform all DNS lookups using Google Public DNS. Public DNS is only a name resolver. If you are looking for a high-volume, programmable, authoritative name server using Google's infrastructure, try Google's Cloud DNS. In addition to traditional DNS over UDP or TCP, we also provide DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for greater security and privacy. Speed up your browsing experience. Get the results you expect with absolutely no redirection.
