Wait, what did you mean by this? Did you manage to actually downgrade to a lower firmware?!

That's a point. My though was that using an DNS proxy was less difficult to setup for someone who's not that familiar with how routers work. But then again, everyone who's found his way to this board can be expected to be somewhat fit at doing stuff like that anyway...

Sorry, but you don't seem to understand how this works: The DNS proxy is a server on the internet which resolves the url "samsungotn.net" to the corresponding ip address. We could setup such a DNS server ourselves for the SamyGo community and simply block every request that goes to the Sam...

The best solution would probably to setup an "official" SamyGo DNS server which blocks access to the various samsungotn.net URLs listed above. That way all people would have to do is enter a manual DNS server ip in the tv's network settings. No need to fiddle with router settings in such a...

Yes, he probably meant to say "block the first 3 URLs".

Hm, I'd be cautious about blocking the entire msecnd.net domain. It's part of the Microsoft Azure platform and used for many, many other services as well - which would no longer work in such a case. Why do you thing that we should block that domain as well? Wouldn't the Azure service only be used to...

What's the difference between "operating" and "development"?

Uh, that's bad.

Setting up a DNS proxy which blocks the TV form pinging the Samsung OTN servers would be the best solution we have right now.

I'll be able to set something up, as soon as somebody can verify which URL the tv uses. Is it just the single domain racocvr posted above?

Thanks, can someone second that?

Btw, are you guys sure that they didn't just move the option to change the OTN Support value to the extended service menu? The "FACTORY+3SPEED" one?

modify the DNS records to point to a different ip... just on itself by using loopback / 127.0.0.1 or something. Just using a custom dns server and blocking the tv from accessing the update server would probably be the easiest way. I'm sure I could set something up for the loyal SamyGo users... Does...
