'''OpenNIC''' is an [[w:alternate DNS root|alternate DNS root]].
== Simple configuration ==
The easiest way to set up OpenNIC is to edit resolv.conf and add one of OpenNIC's DNS servers to the list.
== Advanced configuration ==
If you run your own DNS server, you may want to instead use OpenNIC's DNS servers only for OpenNIC TLDs and use a DNS server that is closer to you for other domains.
=== Dnsmasq ===
Details on configuration are forthcoming.
=== Unbound ===
To configure OpenNIC to work with the [[w:Unbound (DNS Server)|Unbound recursive DNS server]], simply add these to your unbound.conf:
<pre>forward-zone:
name: "bbs"
forward-addr: 69.164.208.50
forward-zone:
name: "fur"
forward-addr: 69.164.208.50

forward-addr: 69.164.208.50</pre>
You can replace <code>69.164.208.50</code> with one of the other DNS servers listed on the OpenNIC site if you wish, but this that server (located in Net Access Corporation's Newark, New Jersey datacenter) is the closest to campus.
