Homebrew Requesting a VPN for 3DS

Halvorsen · Feb 5, 2016

I know nothing about how this works.
But changing DNS and IP doesn't seem to bypass locks.
Playing Smaah at lunch would be cool.
If anyone has an alternate way of bypassing blocks, could you tell?

You mean that your school/workplace blocks Nintendo's servers? It would then be pretty safe to assume that they also block VPN or any kind of proxy setup, or it would make things a bit pointless. A software VPN running on the 3DS itself probably isn't going to happen anyway. Your best bet is to use a mobile hotspot (if you have one).

I actually made this post with a VPN enabled phone. I wouldn't be able to do so otherwise.

I've tried doing that before, and I could never set up a mobile VPN hotspot on Android. But yeah, this will probably never happen cause idk how you are going to get a VPN running in the background with Smash hogging up the available RAM and CPU power.

New 3DS exclusive and maybe a mini custom firmware?

Why not set up a vpn on your phone then use that phone as an hotspot for your 3ds? I doubt the 3ds would be able to handle running a game and a vpn at the same time. I don't even know if it's possible to run things in the background while you game.

I mean i use betternet VPN at lunch during highschool to set up a private network on the schools wifi. So its not that impossible, ithink. I dont know how to do the programming stuff so dont quote me on it. Pls. :grog:

That would be cool... But my schools network is horrible and there password is as crackable as a peanut in a nut cracker...

Not all phones have hotspot features...
