IP Addresses

It can sometimes be useful to have the IP address of nice nameservers. Using VT nameservers can, for example, solve an ISP's meddling in your Firefox address bar/Google I'm feeling lucky magic redirects.

The addresses for VT's nameservers are:

  • 198.82.247.66
  • 198.82.247.98
  • 198.82.247.34
