Cloudflare DNS has DoH, but it's Cloudflare so... ew. Is there one that is more privacy respecting and also has DNS over HTTPS?

I was wondering. Does opennic support icann root servers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

OpenNIC is an alternative root, so besides what @[email protected] said, you can configure any DNS resolver to serve both ICANN and OpenNIC roots. That's because they don't have conflicting top-level domains. If for example both claimed they were responsible for .lemmy then your resolver would have to choose who to consider responsible for it.

OpenNIC Tier 2 servers (the common ones used) are slave servers of OpenNIC Tier 1 servers (the root servers of OpenNIC) for the OpenNIC zones and these Tier 2 and Tier 1 servers make direct requests to ICANN root servers on theirselves.
