Over many of my tutorials I've shown how to protect your jailbroken PS4 from game and firmware updates using DNS servers. While these typically work well, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution for everyone out there. Not only public DNS servers require a level of trust and availability to use, but some ISPs don't respect custom DNS settings which makes utilizing a public DNS server useless. People could also choose to host their own local DNS server on their own network, but why do that when we can set one up on the console itself? nanoDNS from drakmor solves this issue by setting your console's DNS to the localhost address, and combined with GoldHEN's Payloader we can allow safer Internet access to the console only when nanoDNS launches! If that sounds interesting enough to you, this video will demonstrate how to set it up and centralize your network blocking rules locally to the console. As long as you understand there's no place like 127.0.0.1, anyone should be able to easily set this up on their own PS4!
