Overview
Resolve a domain to a different IP for testing (e.g. check a website on its old host). Session-only overrides.
š Moving a website to a new server? See your site on the NEW host before DNS switches ā or peek at the OLD one after it already has. The usual way is editing your hosts file: admin rights, hidden folders, flushing DNS, then remembering to undo it. SkipDNS does it in one click, right from your toolbar. ā” HOW IT WORKS 1ļøā£ Open the site ā SkipDNS pre-fills the domain 2ļøā£ Enter the server IP (add :port if needed) 3ļøā£ Click Enable override ā the page reloads from that server š¢ A green bubble on the icon shows when an override is live for the tab you're on. Remove it with one click ā or just close the browser, nothing is saved. āØ WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT ā Two inputs, one button ā zero configuration ā Green ON badge ā always know when it's active ā Session-only ā overrides vanish when the browser closes ā Works like a hosts-file entry ā Host header stays intact ā 100% local ā no account, no tracking, no external services ā Free and lightweight šÆ PERFECT FOR šØāš» Developers testing a site on a staging or new server š¢ Agencies verifying a migration before flipping DNS š„ļø Sysadmins comparing old vs. new hosting side by side š Anyone who ever googled "how to edit hosts file" š” GOOD TO KNOW Browsers don't let extensions change real DNS, so SkipDNS routes the overridden domain to your chosen IP instead. Pages load over HTTP (HTTPS is switched automatically) ā exactly what you need for "is my site on the right server?" checks. Strictly HTTPS-enforced sites (HSTS, some CDN/WAF hosts) may resist the override ā use a hosts-file entry for those. Overrides apply to all tabs and clear when the browser closes.
