Or even better yet, why not join OpenNIC and help a more democratic alternative to DNS root.

Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn't that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

ELI5 please. What are the benefits over unbound?

[-] i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

I don't know about unbound so I can't really compare... OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

unbound is a software that you can run anywhere to have a caching dns. opennic is a project of dns servers you can connect to to resolve dns records (think in google dns servers but run by the community). two different problem spaces. you can even use both at the same time
