SkipDNS

Overview

Resolve a domain to a different IP for testing (e.g. check a website on its old host). Session-only overrides.

🔄 Moving a website to a new server? See your site on the NEW host before DNS switches — 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. ⚡ HOW IT WORKS 1️⃣ Open the site — SkipDNS pre-fills the domain 2️⃣ Enter the server IP (add :port if needed) 3️⃣ Click Enable override — the page reloads from that server 🟢 A green bubble on the icon shows when an override is live for the tab you're on. Remove it with one click — or just close the browser, nothing is saved. ✨ WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT ✅ Two inputs, one button — zero configuration ✅ Green ON badge — always know when it's active ✅ Session-only — overrides vanish when the browser closes ✅ Works like a hosts-file entry — Host header stays intact ✅ 100% local — no account, no tracking, no external services ✅ Free and lightweight 🎯 PERFECT FOR 👨‍💻 Developers testing a site on a staging or new server 🏢 Agencies verifying a migration before flipping DNS 🖥️ Sysadmins comparing old vs. new hosting side by side 🔍 Anyone who ever googled "how to edit hosts file" 💡 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) — 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 — use a hosts-file entry for those. Overrides apply to all tabs and clear when the browser closes.
