Hi,
Trying to decide if I want to go ahead and install CBHC, setting up my WiiU as a family Christmas present this year, I am purchasing games and installing them on the system and want to bring my wii and GC games over to one system. After reading the threads I see that you can brick if Nintendo sends an update or you delete the eshop game, I get that. Questions:
1. Every time you load a new game, the system always goes out to nintendo's servers for updates to that game, and loads them. If i have CBHC will that be a problem?
2. If I have CBHC installed, and a new update comes out, my kids will be playing the wii u, will see it and hit ok to update. How do I prevent that? I have implemented these settings from this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-community-noob-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.451297/ but that is all i have done.
I have not done this:
2a Can I do that, and undo it when I need to perform a game update as long as i understand the update, is that a good approach?
3. I will hide the CBHC eshop game from the kids in the settings menu. Is there anything else that could brick the system that I should be worried about?
Thanks for the help, CBHC just seems too risky, just the questions.

Blocking Updates:
I recommend using the recommended DSN settings from loadiine.ovh for basic update blocking setup on the Wii U console.
- Go into your system settings menu -> Internet -> Connect to the Internet -> Connections (or press X) -> Select your connection -> Change Settings - > DNS -> Don't Auto-obtain
- Set primary and secondary dsn as follows: (check loadiine.ovh for updated IP's)
- Primary DNS = 168.235.92.108
- Secondary DSN = 81.4.127.20
I have not done this:
B. Block your Wii U's MAC Address in your router settings
1. Go to Wii U Menu/System Settings/Internet/View MAC Address
2. Type the string you see into your MAC address filter (Ex: b8-ae-4e-48-36-fe)
