I currently run 5.5.1 on my Wii U, and only use manual haxchi. For years, I have been able to use all online features of the console without an update thanks to my DNS settings, but now, the latest update is being pushed, and out of nowhere, I'm prevented from connecting to nintendo servers with error code 102-2511. Currently my DNS is set to "081.004.127.020" and "168.235.092.108", and I am able to establish a successful internet connection. I would prefer not to update if I don't have to, as I have heard the latest updates can have a negative effect on cold boot, should I choose to switch to it, and I don't know if any other features could be broken from updating. I made sure all auto-update options were still turned off, and I also tried using the update-folder deleter homebrew app, but still no change. Anyone else having this issue, or have a solution?

Edit: Bit the bullet and updated. Probably for the best since some homebrew only works with tiramisu anyway. Haxchi without cold boot still works fine too, so all good.

Good to see Haxchi still working around to others instead of just me :)
Even tho that's no longer an issue for now, let me give an advice about blocking updates: the IP method is considered obsolete now, and there's a new way to block them by deleting the update folder inside of the console OS. You can do this quickly and safer with a homebrew app called UFDiine.
Since you don't use any custom DNS manually with this method, the eShop and other NUS servers will no longer be restricted, and you might even notice a connection boost which is very nice :v

Thanks for the reply. That was one method that I attempted, but it didn't stop the error code from showing up and preventing me from connecting to official nintendo servers.

Even at 5.5.6? :/
I mean it is to expect this error (if you're outdated) even with UFDiine. These update restrictions won't avoid update checks, they'll just not download them and throw an error at you...
Also fun fact: if you still want to play some compatible online game without updating, you can do so with Pretendo Network since it only checks for updates when you use your NNID

    They passed a city ordinance last month. No smoking cannabis in public. Not even eating gummies. $300 fine and misdemeanor charge if caught. People can walk down the street smoking cigs and tossing the butts all over, but God forbit someone take a couple puffs of their medication.

    First off, it's recreationally legal here. Secondly, I have a prescription from my doctor and approved by the state. But still a fucking criminal.

    Like at bars. Cant sit outside even in the smoking section and take a few puffs. Yet I have to breath the cig smoke from 20 people chain smoking all night in every direction around me.

    Honestly I feel like Trump is going to crush Biden just because of the trial

    They cite

    The look at how they treated me card is powerful within dumb voters
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    A Trump win is certainly a possibility. If he's reelected, 4 more years then no one has to worry about him being president ever again. I survived last time, I'll survive it if there's a next time. Don't know how anyone could vote for the guy, but I'm also not anyone else but me.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Honestly things were cheaper with Trump but that's tounge and cheek could be exactly the same outcome if he won reelection
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    All of the fake "Christians" vote for him even though he's broken like 8 of the 10 commandments... that we know of. Maybe all 10. LOL

    I like when he says stuff like "They are preventing me from talking!!!" Wait. What? You mean the person that is literally talking right now.. is being prevented from talking? LOL! Gag order also does not apply to taking the stand. He's free to say whatever he'd like. lolol
