- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15822544, 5 years agoThis satisfies my immediate need - bypassing flaky DNS on my intranet VPN - pretty well! Enter hostname, enter IP, click "Add", click "Save".
There is still some room for improvement. Like many other reviewers I initially got tripped up by the form's habit of clearing itself, meaning that one field must be manually typed. And by the Save button, which must be clicked quite promptly or the data will disappear again. Both of these can be addressed with practice, though.
My one other issue is its URL rewriting rule - it looks fairly nice as e.g. "http://127.0.0.1/www.example.com/", but Firefox can't understand that entry format, so if you edit the URL at all (or even just hit enter on it) Firefox will no longer know what you mean and it will garble the URL.
That said, this extension is already quite helpful and it shows good potential too! - Rated 5 out of 5by nyanpasu64's old account, 5 years agoOnly works if network.trr.mode is set to 0. Fails if DNS over HTTPS is enabled.
- Rated 2 out of 5by jabcreations, 5 years agoDoing a server migration and attempting to test the new server before updating the DNS. I was hoping this would work (I'm using the latest Waterfox 56) though even after properly setting the IP, domain and even restarting the browser outright my website which shows the server IP address in Administrator mode was still pulling the old IP address. Maybe I missed something? Will try another extension. If the author replies with something useful I'd be willing to try again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by felipe1982, 5 years agoDoes not work with HTTPS sites. Does not appear that "Host" header is properly formatted with the desired host. Not easy to copy and paste two values into the fields {host, address}. One of them has to be entered manually
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15455436, 5 years agoThis addon would be useful if it wasn't for the fact that as soon as I switch window to copy the IP or hostname of a server, the addon closes, thus clearing the values I entered. Essentially, you are not going to be able to copy and paste both the IP and hostname in to the plugin, you will have to type one. This is pretty poor design but something which can probably be fixed easily. I hope they fix it so I can actually use this. Until then, I will be uninstalling.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15301442, 6 years agoDidn't think it was working at first but it is. New IPs weren't being used until I tried visiting the site in a private window, guess a cache needs to be cleared at first or something?

posted 6 years agoIt shouldn't be necessary, I'll see if I can reproduce the problem. Thanks for letting me know. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexey Murz Korepov, 6 years ago
