Hardware Bans

Given when you install pirated games. Never use pirated games online, this is 100% ban territory.
Given when you have CFW apps installed to your Home Screen. Sometimes a temporary Hardware ban.

Game Bans

Given for cheating online or using hacked saves for the first time is usually a Game Ban.

Account Bans

Given for cheating online or using hacked saves for a second time is usually an Account Ban.

Bans are used singularly or collectively, meaning you may incur one or multiple bans at once depending on what you've actually done.

Restoring a NAND backup cannot undo any type of ban. If you did a NAND backup and your online abilities were restored that means you disabled your Nintendo Services blocker (Incognito/exosphere.ini/dns mitm/90dns/stealth mode). In some rare occasions you may have had a Temporary Ban (which usually lasts between 1 and 3 months) restoring a NAND backup cannot undo this type of ban neither.

Block Nintendo's Servers From Connecting To Your Switch To Help Prevent Bans And Automatic Updates
90dns

And other DNS protocols, block known addresses from connecting to your Switch. However since they are DNS protocols they need to be applied to EVERY new connection you make. They aren’t global, also, they rely on an external server that someone in Europe runs. So the end user relies on that person making sure they keep all the addresses updated with each update and that their protocol doesn’t go down. There have been ban cases before when it fails.

dns.mitm

Provides a mechanism for redirecting DNS resolution requests. By default, Atmosphere redirects resolution requests for official telemetry servers, redirecting them to a loopback address.

💡Set up dns.mitm Here.

exosphere

Is a spin-off of incognito. It works in a similar way, however it relies on a single file being present at all times. Not recommended for people who are die hard exFAT users. Because if the file becomes corrupted, instant ban.

💡Set up exosphere Here.

Incognito

Blocks things at the hardware level. No need to configure each time you connect to a new connection or travel. It breaks the ssl connection to Nintendo. So even if they change servers or whatever, it still can’t connect. However, V2 Switches have to use a specific build of incognito to protect themselves.
