How to disable PS4 "games" updates

[White_Raven_X]

I'm trying to figure out how I can disable game updates every time I turn on my jailbroken PS4 9.00. I'm using KARO218 and Al Azifs DNS. I just keep getting all the updates downloading for all the games I have on my system. Is there a way around this so that I can keep my PS4 connected online (for nopsn Netflix and others) and not have the all my games try to update every time.

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have a solution to this? I know you can completely block internet with this:
➭ Go to → Debug Settings
➭ Go to → PlayStation Network
➭ Enter in → NP Enviromet
➭ Type → sp-int

But I want to still use Netflix and other online apps.

Any other options?

why not just delete the updates? they won't install since the digest is different. and sp-int is the debug network environment iirc.

Because I have approximately 200 games on it and every time I turn on my ps4 it starts downloading game updates and taking hdd space until I deleted them. Also I'm getting 200 annoying game update notifications showing up on the top left... Makes me have to wait until those notifications go away before I can run my jailbreak with usb on 9.00.

do you have the alazif dns?

Yes I do.

iirc, it shouldn't try to update unless you open the game. is it not doing that?

200 games?! Dirty pirate

I don’t think there is a silver bullet solution to this because developers can host updates from their own servers for their own games, so if you had 50 devs you might need 50 addresses blocked on your router. My honest advice, which is long but guaranteed to work: is to sniff the traffic and make a list of all those that connect and block em.

you can setup a ccproxy and block everything but netflix. I setup an allow list, and add sites to it.

I thought about that, whitelisting only what he wants to connect to.

When turning on the internet even with DNS it tries downloading each and every game update.

yea that's what I do on my switch, in case a firmware update adds a new telemetry.

 

[godreborn]

that is strange. I've never had my system update a game unless I opened it.

the one problem with that is that it doesn't work if using a dual router, like if using a phat ps4 with a 5GHz pc. a phat ps4 is 2.4GHz only.

hmm I don't typically use WiFi, but for the switch I do.. and I did recently update to a dual router. hmmmm I havn't used proxy in a while lol I might test this out later.

 

[godreborn]

the switch is 5GHz; phat ps4s are not.

Would it make a difference if some of my games were for 6.72 and I'm on 9.00?

It shouldn't. An update is an update.

I had this issue before setting up al azif dns…

That's strange... Cause I'm using 165.227. 83.145 and 192.241. 221.79
