Hacking Blocking 9.3.0-21 with your Wi-Fi router

[bobtheglob101]

Mine
showed that same exact 404, but I don't want to risk the update nag popping up.

Yeah that means it didn't block it I don't have my dd-wrt anymore so I wouldn't know the appropriate settings on how to correctly block the server, try finding other settings similar to those access restrictions. I recall dd-wrt had iptables?

Anyone has the IPs of those domains? I can resolve all of them except the nintendo.net ones

The rest are:
205.166.76.53
192.195.204.150
205.166.76.150

If you're trying to IP block the server I would advise against doing that D: Nintendo servers are like DHCP clients with ever changing IP's and what not. Domain blocking is the best way to do this

Block them before they block you!

i hope it didn't take too long to come up with that ending line

haha I vaguely remember hearing it elsewhere, so thankfully no

Ah well shit. My router doesn't allow hostname blocking.

Still, I tried with mask 255.255.255.0 and nothing ever fucking works, it still tries to connect to eShop and prompts update

That's a shame What kind of router do you have?

What bobtheglob101 said should work.

The hosts file is located under C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts. Just edit that with a text editor and add lines like this

127.0.0.1 nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
127.0.0.1 nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net

and so on. Then save and reboot.

Actually found a seperate hosts file just for ICS. It was "hosts.ics" So I've added the changes there as well. I get a 404 message when I connect when I tested a phone on my router, but when connected to my ICS enabled access point I get a connection refused error. (the phone had Chrome). Looks like it's working me thinks?

The hosts file only applies to your computer, not your router. So you need to connect to your computer as access point for that to take effect. Connection refused sounds like it works yes.

As long are absolutely certain all the domain entires are in that hosts file directing to 127.0.0.1 everything should be safe for your 3DS connecting to that hotspot

Well it appears to have not worked. At least I don't think so. eShop still opens correctly and displays the update message. I hit power button to kill it of coarse. So confirmed that host file redirects DO NOT WORK with Internect Connection Sharing. Looks like I would have to setup a DNS server or something. Not something that is worth the trouble for something like this. I'm the only one that uses the 3DS, so if it decides to show a update prompt every now and then, I can live with that.

I'll just keep wifi on the 3DS turned off until I actually need to use it. Like when I'm playing Pokemon online or something.

 

[Jayro]

So I have these settings in my neighbor's modem, but still able to ping, and 2DS eShop still tells me there's an update needed.
I already blocked the same set of URLs in my router, so I have no idea why they are getting through TWO sets of blocked URLs:

I wouldn't think a DNS block would help either considering host block didn't work. You'll probably need something that'll stop actual packets and data going though those domains but if you can live without online that works too

Will this also prevent my Wii U from updating?

Are you still connecting your 2DS through your router that's repeating that one? If so you'll need to list your router as one of the clients that need the blocking since the router that's repeating the signal is connected your neighbors router as a client.. unless that block applies to everything

I wouldn't know since I don't have a WiiU but according to the original thread I got the URL's from it might work on the WiiU

My router is the only "No" under the list of "Trusted Computers", as seen here:

Hmm.. what about the dd-wrt router? Is your 2DS listed under there in the "PCs" menu in the access policy?

I don't see anything like that in DD-WRT, but then again, I'm running the micro build. It may not have all features of the standard generic.

Scratch that^
I found it, adding the 2DS to the client list now. Will test and post results.

No luck... My 2DS still sees an update available. I'll just cripple the SSID by one letter to stop it going online.

Seems like router blocking only works on some routers. Nuking the wifi config settings on the 3DS/2DS always work though

Hmmm... DDWRT here. No dice. Still can access eshop.
