Here are some basic instructions on configuring your personal computer to access the OpenNIC Top-Level Domains (TLDs). This page has, at the moment, instructions only for (in alphabetical order, to prevent religious arguments) ""BeOS"", ""MacOS"" (with ""OpenTransport""), a set that should work with most Unix and Unix-like systems and Windows 98/NT/2K. If you've configured a different operating system to use OpenDNS, please add it to this page.
If your ISP or network administrator, for some reason, refuses to add support for OpenDNS to your network's own name servers, OpenNIC is collecting volunteers who make their OpenDNS name servers available for anyone who needs to use them.

Lists will be posted to the Announcements list, so if you need to use these public servers, please [[MailingLists subscribe to that list]].
If you need to use one of the public Tier 0 through 2 servers, and you do not personally know its administrator, you will also need to join the [[MailingLists Announcements list]] (or join the [[MailingLists Discussion list]]) so you'll get notified of any changes to the server.
