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

[Deleted User]

DNSwitch4All
Easier/Noob friendly version of DNSwitch

Requirements

1. Python 3.6 or Python 2.0
2. A webserver(if you want PHP)

How to use

1. Open the settings app on your nintendo switch
2. Select your wifi connection
3. Click change settings
4. Click DNS Settings and change it to manual and enter the following IP as your Primary DNS "107.170.190.128"
5. Click save and run a connection test and click okay once the switch asks you to register
6. Once you click ok you should be redirected to a webpage that you can modify by running one of the two scripts in the DNSwitch4All repo that will automatically redirect you to either a website like google or even a custom website such as http://dnswitch.redthetrainer.com
7. Alternatively you can also configure your DNS Redirect with the following page(no python required) http://107.170.190.128/configure.php
8. Once the site is changed to your liking simply run a connection test again and click okay!

Something's not really working out here.

If you look at the original DNSwitch you had to configure a bunch of shit...if someone cant run a simple script then they really shouldn't be on this site in the first place and they will need to wait for us to make the application versions.

Thats for a local network only. This is a public DNS hence why this also blocks updates from nintendo.

As for it being easier, its also only for windows users and is something completely different then this

Again thats not configurable. So completely different.

And people wonder why I always end up moving my releases over to se7ensins...you're trying to push this off and derail the thread already and its only been 10 minutes...

That's what I thought too but then I was bombarded with simple questions

So I can still go online and Switch doesn't automatically update?

Not sure since they say in the terms they can update your switch in the background even if you have the option turned off
If you want to be sure you can redirect these links to google or something and the Switch should not be able to see the latest update version

http://receive-lp1.dg.srv.nintendo.net
http://sun.hac.lp1.d4c.nintendo.net

I found them myself so they might not work right but from what I can tell it works.

This will block online access unfortunately while being used at this time

A webbased configuration page has been setup. So you no longer need python. http://107.170.190.128/configure.php

Just run the script again or use the configuration page and put a valid URL

How do I access the configuration page again without being able to enter an url?

I'm wondering about the Switch having a hardcoded list of DNS servers it references for updates, even if a custom DNS server is set? If I was Nintendo that's something I'd consider - but wouldn't make obvious.

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