My router automatically blocks my 3DS from Nintendo Services but browser works fine. Support fixed it (because we don't have access to it, it is a free internet exclusive for our location) and 1 year later, it occurs again. This time I ask if there's a way to fix that, what's the problem? What URL or DNS (idk) does it block? Please help...

What you mean of "Nintendo Services"? Console's browser, eShop or online gameplay? To open Nintendo's site in browser and to play online you need different ports.
Some ports are mentioned here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/request-nintendo-3ds-ports.329101/
But with good (normal) router you do not need any port-forwarding, so:
Is it really your router or your ISP who is blocking ports? May be ISP is kinda like proxy (to be cheap). Or your router is extra-ancient. Or it's not even router, but somehow LAN's AP or something.
Also it's possible to block ports (except 80 and 443 for example) on your router for wireless clients (for security or fascism reasons) and your ISP can do it if he is controlling your router.
Get real (normal) ISP then.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
