Hacking Is blocking Nintendo servers with DNS really necessary if you just disable auto-downloads?

If you just disable automatic software downloads, whats the danger in not blocking the servers? I really don't want to use a DNS hack because I like the convenience of updating my games on the wii u without having to use a pc. Can they find out I have homebrew or something?

legend has it , nintendo will update your system if you're connected online no matter what , there ha been some people who had their systems updated without their consent , and others while their systems were in sleep mode , as of yet , there is no real way to block the auto-update feature while online , expect for using a DNS server.

welp, looks like there is no other choice for now. Thanks, I will use the DNS server. Also, how do I go about updating my games if I block nintendo? And can I still play online games?

Use wup installer and download updates with usb helper. (Updates always have legit tickets). You can still play online

Even with downloads, quickstart, sleep disabled the system re-enables downloading of updates at every boot and resumes the download. And then all it takes to start the update is accidentally tapping OK.
