Host overrides

Host overrides let you map a hostname to a custom IP address (and optional port), similar to an on-device hosts file.

Common use cases

  • Point production domains to a staging server.
  • Test a new backend without changing client code.
  • Override DNS resolution for debugging.

Create a host entry

  1. Open the Tools tab and tap Host Overrides.
  2. Tap Add Host.
  3. Enter the Hostname (wildcards supported).
  4. Enter the Target IP and optional Port.
  5. Save and enable the entry.

Notes

  • Host overrides apply only while capture is active.
  • Use distinct names to keep entries organized.
  • Disable or delete overrides when you are done to avoid confusion.
