<<Alternatively, you may click the "Advanced" button and enter the one or more DNS IP addresses from the DNS List. This allows you to re-arrange the order of search (preferred is top position, alternates are lower). NOTE: Using more than two DNS IP addresses here <b>will</b> work, but your page may not appear immediately due to longer search paths.<<::c::

Edited on 2007-07-25 13:14:16 by AvoYager [Added OSX instructions]
Additions:
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.
