How DNS Works
-
Just came across this website https://howdns.works/ that explains what a DNS server does with helpful illustrations!
When a device goes to connect to a specific website domain, it first asks the DNS server for the IP in order to make the connection. Through this manner, browseDNS is able to redirect, on some devices, an initial network connection in order to bring up a captive portal browser.

thanks. theoretically you could make a DNS that directs to discord or other things that don't work through the normal browser on switch, right?
Omori is a very cool game

@Dotta sadly not. still the same browser would handle it, so no discord :(
