Tier 2 Virginia OpenNIC Resolvers

What is OpenNIC?

OpenNIC is an open and democratic alternative to DNS root. The project is ran by hobbyists who work together to operate a decentralized DNS resolver to ensure DNS Neutrality. OpenNIC also provides its own set to TLDs that operators are all free registration. OpenNIC is also peered with other networks such as Emercoin, New Nations, and FurNIC. More information about the project as a whole can be found out from the official site.
