SkipDNS 作者: djekanovic

🔄 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
1⃣ Open the site — SkipDNS pre-fills the domain
2⃣ Enter the server IP (add :port if needed)
3⃣ 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.
