So, I've been trying to get a clear-cut answer on the IP ranges to block on my router, to block the Nintendo Update Servers (NUS). So far, this is the list I have compiled from several different threads and my own findings (Balanced URLs appear at end of the list). Is anyone able to confirm these are accurate? Any additions?

don't do that, don't block IPS. Only block hosts.
Thoses ips are from akamai, if you block them you will block facebook & a lot of other sites.

At least on my router, I can set it to block with only a certain device/IP. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use fakebook on my wii u anytime soon :P

Blocked by device, that's what I also did. Had no other choice, really, as my router can only block about 15 IPs total.

Most home routers will allow 10-15 URLs or IPs to be blocked.
I don't suggest blocking an entire device, as it will prevent other games/applications from accessing online content.

That's true, but I haven't been playing the Wii U side of the console as much as the vwii, so locking it down like I did works pretty well for me.

Blocking the domain names should be all you have to do, but I am not sure how the Wii U checks for an update.

Cause if it just uses domain names the no matter which IP it goes to would be blocked.

Any how, just to be safe I blocked all IP addresses.

For people using DD-WRT here is the list for your Firewall.

When I block nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net I can still ping it, the only difference being that the IP returned is 176.255.246.202, should I worry?

EDIT

Sorry should have checked, a quick Google search returns this as a Sky IP address, so presumably that's a redirection to the page which comes up when you try to browse to a blocked site.

So if you disable stand-by, and also disable auto-update, what is the point of blocking all these servers? Are you guys saying Nintendo will silently update your system even with auto-update disabled?

Gambia, The
this would only stop the automatic installation, it can still download the update and then prompt you to update with that silly little screen that only let's you press "OK" or pull the plug on your wiiu... so Id rather have the updates blocked by my router, then have, let's say some relative or friend boot up my wiiu and press ok... you know, better safe than sorry

I have blocked the following url's:
  • nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
  • nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
  • nus.cdn.shop.wii.com
  • nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net
  • nus.wup.shop.nintendo.net
Also I have blocked these ip addresses:
  • 96.17.161.145
  • 184.50.229.158
  • 184.50.229.137
Will that be all I need to block the updates?
Blocking those ip's + nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net worked on 4.1, however when I updated to 5.0 to get my mk8 free game, I was still able to download things from the eshop.

    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
