Hacking Suggestion [IMPORTANT] Possible Nintendo server changes to block web applets from working
Tried the "trick" on the reddit page from flacid_monkey and i could not reproduce the same result. I think he is implying the normal "nag" and not "super nag" issue.
microsoft use a single hard coded IP address for some of their stuff and their install base is far larger than nintendo.
Dunno if anyones posted this yet..

What are you talking about? There are plenty of reasons to install a modchip:
1. You don't need to keep track of a jig.
2. It's permenant.
3. Won't break any Joy-Con pins.
4. Some people enjoy taking things apart and installing modchips.
I can keep going but I think you get my point.
I give you points for 1 and 2, the other 2 not so much.
Sure some people like taking things apart, but not everyone. And thats what the thing he reffered to said we should do.
I am against the post he quoted, not modchips. It claims buying modchips is the only way to tell Nintendo that you don't like what they do. Surprise thats bs.
If you need to make your friends let you install a modchip... thats kinda flawed already.
Everybody interested in the scene knows that there are solutions to hand Nintendo their own asses. If they don't they probably don't even notice as they are on the latest FW anyway.
So there is absolutely no reason to pull unaffected, maybe even uninterested Switch owners into this and telling them that they absolutely need a modchip right now.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but i can't let statements like this stand.
"Help your friends with their questions, provide them with guidelines for easy product acquisition" - just to repeat it...
Bought a 4.1 a couple months ago and have NOT connected it online yet. Haven't messed with DNS settings yet either. I've only powered it on to create a profile. I'm assuming it would be wise to leave it alone for now (until Atmosphere is released), or should I go in and set DNS? It requires you to connect in order to do that though, correct?

That would be 1, 2 and 4 because I said "some peolpe" not everyone.
My feelings aren't hurt, I just thought I'd correct you in saying there was no reason to install a modchip.
However, I'm sorry you're upset about the way another person feels. That sucks.

If you don't know who the devs working on Switch projects are.
If you need to put responsibility on strangers, you will then blindly trust instead.
If you dont know the difference between cause and effect.
If you think even the most plain statement still needs clarification.
At some point, we might decide not to carry you anymore.
Up until then take this as a hint, why I'm not reassuring you in your want to do a thing - but I apparently decided who to put trust into - on my own. (There is only one DNS server on the page yellows8 linked to and if you search for mtheall on said page, you'll at least get a result as well - so you can presume that you are on the right webpage.)
This is to prevent Nintendo from flipping on the "supernag". Which prevents you from having access to the browser. 4.1.0 eventually might get a public browser entry point, which should eventually allow you to launch into CFW via a browser exploit.
If Nintendo switches on the supernag - you will need a jig and a powered USB device once in the future to switch it back. But then the Jig and the powered USB device, or a modchip - might turn out to be a faster way to launch CFW anyhow - we currently don't know. Maybe not.
Can you haz this more simple?
Sadly, no.

Don't enter any Wifi login information, and/or stay in airplane mode. If your switch has no access to the internet that has the same effect as using the DNS server that yellows8 refered to. As you are not on 3.0.0 that DNS server gives you no additional "benefit" (as in allowing you to launch homebrew, or blocking almost the entire internet, as you aren't connecting to the internet anyhow.).

UPDATE:
The HBL DNS is now SAFE to use, it now blocks all domains:
https://twitter.com/ylws8/status/991370773892825088
All other DNS's are NOT safe, so if you are not on 3.0.0 stay offline.

Bump to make a users service seeking behavior, posting the same question twice only a day apart, and getting more attention in "his own thread" more visible.
While we are having an ongoing discussion about how this constitutes abusive behavior.

This has nothing to do with this thread. Take a hint from your linked thread and stop adding clutter to threads that include actual discussion points.
a little worried by this comment...

(What network-request(s) actually trigger it is unknown)
Translation: We fixed the DNS but we don't really know how Nintendo did this in the first place.
No judgement on my part.... these guys abilities are incredible. It's just a touch worrying is all.
