[feature request] Disable BrowseDNS from settings
-
Requested by @ForgetMeNot49, the browseDNS IPs do not currently support "disable DNS" like Switchbru DNS does (eg. from http://lanechange-controller.fortheusers.org/manage/ ).
-
There's good reasons to have this feature. It means a lot.
-
It's not perfect, but I have now added similar lanechange controller endpoints for the two browseDNS IPs.
That means through the following three pages, you can configure whether or not each DNS redirects or not:
- Switchbru DNS (45.55.142.122): http://lanechange-controller.fortheusers.org/manage/
- BrowseDNS US (45.55.112.11): http://lanechange-us.browsedns.net/manage/
- BrowseDNS UK (46.101.65.164): http://lanechange-uk.browsedns.net/manage/
For convenience, these pages all link to each other. I ultimately still want this to be an easier / less confusing process in the future.
Finally I should note that this redirect info is stored in memory– when the DNS restarts the preferences on these pages are reset. We do rarely restart this component, but that is another area that needs improvement.
-
Also for those curious about how this works, if you remove the
/manageportion of the URL, you're hitting the actual same-redirect service (lanechange) that the Switch will hit during the connection test.So when enabled, that domain will redirect to switchbru/browsedns, but when disabled it returns only "ok" with Nintendo headers (
X-Organization: Nintendo, which is what the Switch expects a valid connection test to do)
