Also, I’d like to piggyback off your suggestion: if your router doesn’t have this feature, look into custom firmware like DDWRT. I used to use that for my old Linksys router.The easiest method by far is using your routers url blocking features if it has that option - which I feel the majority of routers do have (or should. if it doesn't check for firmware upgrade).
If not just follow one of the many guides here that go over the steps to change your Wii U dns servers. You can find them just by looking at the stickies or searching. They also contain the urls you need to block
1) I find it convenient. I have multiple Wii U's, easier to set one thing rather than from the Wii U settings.Dunno why people find the need for url filtering when DNS alone blocks the updates. You can even take it further by deleting the update folder from the system to prevent updating entirely.
Deleting the update folder blocks updates without needing a DNS or proxy.1) I find it convenient. I have multiple Wii U's, easier to set one thing rather than from the Wii U settings.
2) Some people have the tendency to recreate wi-fi connections, not realizing that they would need to setup the DNS settings again for the new connection.
I get where you're coming from, but there are some reasons.
I'm well aware of that. What I haveDeleting the update folder blocks updates without needing a DNS or proxy.
I'm aware of that. Perhaps I'll have to pursue that option at some point, but I already have everything setup from a past perspective and it simply works.Deleting the update folder blocks updates without needing a DNS or proxy.
yes its possibleEveryone please I do not want to use public DNS i dont trust them they might spy on traffic and I get paranoid about that I want to run it via fiddler is it possible or not?
It has a misleading "capture traffic" option (press F12) that actually only enables it as your computer's proxy, but there's a separate option to make it accept connections from other computersI'm pretty sure that fiddler is just for traffic on your PC.

Not familiar on how to blacklist some domains without being in approve/edit-every-request mode (F9) though
noIs there any downside to deleting the Update folder from a Wii U system?
