Homepass can be configured to use OpenDNS, but it's not something I'm going to get into because there are too many unique ways to homepass. Feel free to confirm/disprove this for the rest of us. This method will not protect you from downloading the update over spotpass. Because spotpass hotspots are preconfigured into every 3DS, it will not use OpenDNS. Spotpass/Streetpass/Homepass Warning: Spotpass will ping the update.
