Hacking Tubehax doesnt work againest the new 5.5.1?

[twocows]

Try setting your router-side filter to apply to all devices. Also, maybe try OpenDNS and set up blocking through that? But this sounds like something with your ISP to me.

Yup same problem, also from the UK (not sure if it has anything to do with it), was on 5.5.0, put TubeHax into DNS settings, rebooted router and Wii U and 5.5.1 started downloading. I'll just leave it disconnected I guess, sucks I can't play online though.

Ignore this I had another connection set up on "Connection 4", didn't see it as you have to scroll down. Now have TubeHax setup on Connection 1 and no other connections. Working.

i am also from the UK and had issues with tubehax

The best way is blocking the 6-7 URL in the router..

OpenDNS has never failed me. You're putting a lot of faith in complete strangers by using Tubehax as your only protection, whereas OpenDNS is operated by Cisco. The only caveat is that if you have a dynamic IP address, you need to keep their updater app running, preferably on a system that's up 24/7.

That's a big caveat. Most people don't have desktop computers running anymore. Even if I were to leave my laptop on all day, it's a laptop. Sometimes, it leaves the house. Do you know how I got on 5.4.0? It updated while I was away on vacation. What happens when your IP address changes while you are on vacation? You brought your laptop, but not your Wii U with you. It could update. You probably wouldn't even know the IP address changed until you got home and saw the updated Wii U. You'd end up having to keep the Wii U unplugged all the time.

Actually when i'm not at home and i'm on a vacation i always turn of the electricty. There's no reason at all to leave it on and it costs money even if you're not using anything.

Or you could, idk, disable standby procedures.

 

[naddel81]

tubehax never failed me. have it set up in my router to prevent all consoles at home updating accidentally.

Don't have a freezer but still even if you do why leave everything plugged in ? There's no reason at all, it just consumes money.

I knew it ;P
But still, it never end to surprise me how effective, clever is Wii U to find a way to update itself, you have to give that to Nintendo lol, you give it the slightest chances and boom! updated.

Yep. So if it can't connect to Nintendo from connection 1 it basically goes through your other connections. Sneaky.

Hi!
Here in Spain some internet providers has DNS proxy althought you configure tubehax Wii u can download updates ... So you must to call the provider for disable dns proxy ... A way to test is made tethering with tour mobile... Share your mobile Internet conection and configure in Wii u with tubehax

Cheers,

Yeah, internet providers use custom DNS, here and in another countries. But when you set up another DNS instead of the default one, it overrides the provider one.

 

[Aroth]

So mine updated to 5.5.1 as well. Tubehax apparently is not enough anymore. Figures.

 

[Monado_III]

tubehax still working for me, just got the error message in download management as well. If it helps, I have it set as primary and secondary.

How do you do that, exactly?

You can set up manually your DNSs in every OS, even on the WiiU.

Well I have recently disabled standby, but I had it on for a long time. The Quickboot is nice. Also, the offers are nice. You know, Nintendo sometimes puts coupons in those gamepad notifications.

You need to keep your fridge and freezer plugged in, or all the food would go bad. That's a lot more expensive then a few dollars worth of electricity. You also need your home heating system to work, or your pipes could freeze. If you have an alarm, you want that to work. It's also a good idea to leave some lights on, especially over the holidays, so that burglars think someone is home. I've left the radio on the whole time before, to help trick the burglars. I don't have any renter's insurance, so anything stolen would be a total loss and I can't afford to replace any of it.

But don't forget the biggest reason, because of everyone else who lives in your house. Just because I go on vacation, doesn't mean all my roommates are going on vacation, certainly not all on the same days. Foreign roommates especially go on much less vacations. International plane tickets back to Europe and especially Asia are very expensive, so they don't go every year. Plus sometimes, electricity is included in rent. I don't pay any utilities at my current place, just a flat rate.
