Yes， We Can。

Minecraft features multiple game modes, primarily single-player Survival mode, Creator mode, and Multiplayer mode, which can be played either locally via local split screen, LAN play, and Player/Business hosted online servers. The game uses a server hosting service called Minecraft Realms, which allows for cross-platform play and provides seamless hosting for players using an invite-only function without the use of IP addresses.

Minecraft Switch Edition’s Server Restrictions

Minecraft Realms servers paid service limits Switch players’ access to private servers. Due to legal restrictions placed upon Nintendo, unlike other platforms, the option to access servers via IP address input is excluded. Along with costing money to host servers, Realms also presents a few other cons, including a lack of plugin support and a clunky management system in the game’s UI. Upon reviewing the system, running a server on your own would seem more convenient and cheaper.

Players need not fret, though, as there is a means of skirting these barriers. It starts with using a proxy service called BedrockConnect. It acts as something akin to a ‘VPN for games’ by serving as a proxy while fooling the game into thinking you’re connected to a legitimate server. After the initial setup, picking your desired server and connecting becomes easy. The process makes it convenient enough for an initial one-time setup to grant easy server access indefinitely.

BedrockConnect & Changing Switch DNS Settings

Using BedrockConnect to bypass server restrictions requires first changing your Switch’s DNS settings. The DNS, or Domain Name System, converts human-readable web addresses to IP addresses that devices can understand. It must connect to a DNS provider to accomplish this, which is typically your internet service provider. Requests for the mentioned Switch servers will be routed to BedrockConnect if your DNS is set to point to a BedrockConnect instance.

With no downloads necessary, all it takes is a few quick modifications of the settings on your console. Follow these simple steps to get your access setup-

Open “System Settings” from the Switch Home Screen, and select “Internet Settings”.
Choose your WiFi network from the list shown.
Scroll down a bit and change the “DNS Settings” option from “Automatic” to “Manual”
Input the primary DNS address for BedrockConnect as follows (104.238.130.180). For the secondary DNS address, you can just use Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8).
Upon completion of the above setup, hop back into Minecraft. With BedrockConnect as your trusty proxy assistant, you can join the server of your choice from the featured list in the multiplayer menu. Though, in the event that it doesn’t work on your first attempt, you may try the following;

Restart Minecraft
Restart the Switch
Wait for a bit of time (15-30 minutes)
Connecting to a different network
It seems simple enough, doesn’t it? We hope this guide helps get you back into Minecraft’s wonderful blocky multiplayer world.
