I play online so stealth mode isn’t an option for me. Nice feature for those that want to be completely blocked from Nintendo and use FTP programs though
your switch is not banned playing online? how? i thought just by connect to internet, nintendo will detect the cfw. does latest hekate from tumger prevent ban?
Stealth mode is a DNS server built into the CFW. Regardless of whether or not the other CFWs are capable of adding such a thing, its not designed to prevent bans. Much like Airplane Mode, it merely blocks Nintendo-related URLs from resolving meaning it acts like a self-imposed ban for Nintendo-related online services. What the other CFWs do have over SX OS are actual anti-banning tools such as creport and disabling of eclct via a custom pm.kip.
Think of it like this: I can add a custom DNS server (aka stealth mode) and the anti-banning tools to all non-SX OS CFWs while I can only use Stealth Mode or a custom DNS server with SX OS.
EDIT: To avoid being misquoted as a "TX Hater" understand that this is an objective difference between SX OS and all other CFWs.
so you mean if i use, for example, the latest sdfiles from TumGER, my switch cannot be banned? how? i understand stealth mode is like DNS or airplane special for nintendo server. i prefer that because i am not playing online. only for FTP and remote debug only
