      That i'm not sure, Twitter used to work but they no longer support our browser. We have our own chat area here if you want something like that. Anything that is too modern and does not support the browser, it shoul tell you. Maybe look for discussion forums or chatrooms.

      I'm going to use instagram messaging as an example, it says you have no Internet connection when you click on messages..

        Your best chance for texting may be Google Voice: https://voice.google.com/

          Once you turn your DNS settings on manual with the code inside it you will be moved to our servers and in my words you will become offline. My Internet shows all 5 bars while on the browser so I'm sure your Internet is on and working while using the dns server. On some websites it says you have no wifi when using some features on there but majority works perfectly fine.

          In order to regain your actual Internet you have to turn you DNS settings on Automatic to get everything back.

          @VGMoose Do you care to explain why it says you have no Internet on some websites?

          @Raven Some websites will detect if you're on wifi in different ways is all, I think. The switch itself will act like it's offline (for all non-browser Internet services) since the connection applet is blocked from finishing the network test.

              In order to do so on eshop, you would need to go through Nintendo. You don't just get to upload stuff whenever you feel like it, if that was the case eshop would be filled with browser like stuff.

              Switchbru is accessible on DNS.

                  I can't seem to sign the petition from my Switch. I don't know what good it would do anyway, but I'd do it if I could. Now the bigger question is, does the petitioner (one who is petitioning) wish to take this thing next level and attempt to seek a "Petition for Writ of Mandamus" in court (look it up, I'm not exactly an attorney...) to attempt to force Nintendo to respond, since this method here obviously isn't working...?

                  Not my monkey, not my circus...

                        @shaiziel3nsk1 textnow works pretty well if you already have a account, it wont work if the "are you a robot" thing pops up but besides that it works well
