The project is open-source and available on GitHub. It's useful for developers and system administrators who need to test applications against different server configurations or manage network traffic at the DNS level without modifying system-wide settings.

I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
