As some of you may know, certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs) tend to block DNS requests to custom servers. When this happens, the dreaded -611 error often appears. Up until now, most people have relied on VPNs to bypass this issue. However, today I’m introducing a new solution!
I’ve developed a simple application that functions as a Portable MH Oldschool DNS Server. With this tool, you can run a DNS server locally on your machine.
Using it is simple; instead of setting our usual 34.75.107.68 IP address as the DNS server in your network settings, you’ll use your own local DNS IP address (It will be displayed directly in the app). This ensures that your DNS requests are no longer intercepted or tampered with by your ISP, eliminating the need for a VPN.
This solution is especially useful for players using real hardware who are unable to run a VPN at all.
