@Malfa The best and easiest way to prevent the captive browser from being displayed is to enable Parental Controls on the device. This prevents the user from editing their settings, and so they cannot enter the DNS to configure it in the first place.

For the Switch, this can be done in Settings. You don't actually need to block any ESRB content, just having parental controls enabled is enough to block access. A PIN will be prompted for when they go to change the DNS settings.

If you're tech-savvy, blocking all three of our DNS IP addresses at your router's configuration page will also fully block them from resolving DNS requests:

45.55.142.122
45.55.112.11
46.101.65.164

I can also recommend: 1.1.1.1 for families, which can be used to allow or disallow categories of websites, even across other devices on your network. It's a good way to filter all Internet requests without having to set up extra hardware. More info here: https://one.one.one.one/family/

That's normal for forums! The new post 'bumps' it back the top of the Recents list: https://www.quora.com/What-does-bump-mean-in-an-internet-forum

Instead of Facebook, try this:

I got the "Feature is not available" screen with the DNS yesterday on my Switch 2, and can confirm that starting to watch a video (w/o the DNS) in the News applet removed it!

So in total:

Set DNS to automatic, or to Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

Watch a video in the News app, or open Facebook via the Album share applet

Set the DNS back to one of the BrowseDNS addresses

The theory is that that the browser needs to connect "normally" every so often, otherwise it refuses to be displayed. This is likely a security measure to make sure the device is properly up to date before connecting to external websites.

@Yuni check this thread for a potential workaround: https://browsedns.net/topic/16960/hold-up-i-think-i-figured-out-how-to-fix-this-feature-is-unavailable

I actually think this is an interesting idea, because I do think people can be pretty lazy when it comes to reading. But, it was accidentally enabled during the forum rebuild, and was broken anyway, so I've disabled it again. @BrowseGPT is the extent of the AI on the site (Maybe @AntiSpamio too if that counts).

This is only on Switch right? It's strange because your bio doesn't have anything too fancy in it, which is what I might suspect. I'll look into it by this weekend and see if I can replicate or fix the problem.

I can recommend namecheap ( https://www.namecheap.com ), but domains are never going to be free, because there's an annual registrar fee. Before I had a credit card, my first few domain names were given to me as a gift from friends/family.

We have to take user password reset requests seriously, or it would be too easy for someone to pretend to be someone else. I've started a group chat to ask you for some more info and we can go from there.

Alright, let me trying switching to a single static banner ad, it shouldn't be something that slows everything down. Is the laptop a chromebook?
