No... Otherwise the guide would just tell you to turn on airplane mode :P The DNS method lets you use online features without worrying about a system update.
(I figured out how to fix the error I was getting btw; had to connect to the eshop on that network with automatic DNS first, then the manual DNS worked.)

That's...odd. I'll see if we can reproduce and add it to the guide if so.

My friend had the same issue; we both fixed it by connecting to online features first with DNS set to automatic, then switching back to manual. I dunno if that's a problem on the DNS' end or just both of our Switches being funky. We're both on 4.1.0, if that helps.

Alright, with two confirmed reports it's probably safe to say this is a thing. I'll add it to the guide in the morning (on my phone atm).

So if you happen to drain the switch or restart it after Nintendo's next firmware...you're f'd for online if you're planning on staying on 4.1.0.

I've got plenty of games to entertain me on Switch but I decided to buy Skyrim even though I played through most of it earlier at 250+ hours. Looks great on the Switch screen. I've got little interest in playing it on my TV. I'd rather play the Bruma mod on PC. Surprised at the loading times, they don't feel that bad.
I've got two switches but I'm going to try and hold off on updating my main one for as long as I care really. I'm not going to lose online access.

Not sure what you're talking about with that first bit. Once 5.0.0 releases and Nintendo updates the servers, 4.1.0 will cease being able to access online (regardless of whether you restart your switch). If you decide to update, that's your prerogative, but just know >=5.0.0 currently has no roadmap for CFW.

Just to make sure, can I still update my games with the DNS method?
Splatoon 2 is asking for a software update alongside a system update.

Honestly, with how many people still don't even know about the .guide family, it seems like a good idea to keep them consistent in appearance just so there's no questions about that either :P

I believe there's a mistake in the guide. On the "installing homebrew launcher" page, it says to set the Primary DNS to a number, and then it tells you to set the "Primary DNS" to a different number. It should be "Secondary DNS." Literally just tried this out.

I have a question sir. Umm the instructions says to have a SD card formatted to fat 32, why? Does the switch not support the better formats? I mean it has support for SDXC cards.

Where is this? I don't see it.
