Hacking [Release] DNSwitch4All - A public DNS Server to hijack the webbrowser & block updates

[SpaceJump]

Either run the python script or go to the url. there is no other way

How exactly would I go to the url after having set youtube as redirect url the first time? There's no url input field or am I missing something?

So... Does this not work anymore or what? I followed the steps but the connection goes all the way through and doesn't ask to register. Unless I actually, accidentally registered it somehow. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something but seeing as how I'm not very good at this, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope you can help me somehow, I'd greatly appreciate it.

It still works if it's not asking f you to register you didn't set up the dns correctly

I accidentally updated my Switch yesterday from 2.0 to 2.2 during a MK8D session yesterday. I'm so pissed off I updated.

Swear to christ, if a vulnerability comes out soon and it requires 2.0, it's going back to the fucking shop for a new one.

Becareful folks, keep your system offline or DNS block the update servers.

Yeah the Switch is a tricky asshole, Nintendo learned a lesson it seems LOL

It almost seems like they want you to actually pay for games...

it won't matter if you buy a new one, no units come on 2.0 and yu can't cart update.

PS. this dns is useless for update blocking, block them yourselves.

Hell of a leap from a browser exploit that can't do much of anything to full on piracy, eh?

I just want to log into my Nintendo Account to set my user up once on my new 2.3.0 Switch. Afterwards I won't go online anytime again.
Is that possible or just with a FW update?

 

[Futurdreamz]

I'm pretty sure it won't let you create a Nintendo Account without updating first. No point to creating a Nintendo Account if you're going to stay offline though.

I already have one which I'm using on Wii U, 3DS and in Chrome (PC). So I just wanted to log into it rather than starting savegames on an offline user which is unconnected.
But as it seems I can just "upgrade" my local user by connecting it to my NID later on so there shouldn't be a problem.

By the way I tried it out and you were right: If I try to do something wich my NID a message pops up telling me I have to update my FW first.

wow a dev releases a great tool that'll help all of us out and asshats hound him because it "could be easier"

the fact that anyone releases anything with this kind of attitude and gratefulness is astounding

thanks a lot OP - will put this to good use over Christmas break~

Does this still work? I have entered the DNS into both my primary and secondary DNS and get a DNS name resolution error.
