[QUESTION]:
First of all: Great project guys (and / or girls)!
I find myself sometimes in the situation in which I need to bypass Pi-Hole temporarily for a few minutes. Going to the web interface, logging in and disabling it for everybody else as well is rather complicated and unwanted. So I'm usually changing my DNS to my routers IP for the moment - which also takes a few mouseclicks.
I got fed up yesterday and wrote myself a small tool that runs in my tray, switching the DNS with a single mouse click and indicates the status with the icon color (blue = Pi-Hole, red = Router).
Is there any interest by other people? If so, I would contribute it to the project for others.
This may be something good to host on your GitHub repo and we can link to it from our Discourse to let people know about it.
Closing due to lack of conversation.
Sorry, I was not keeping track of the issue. I just uploaded the code to GitHub. https://github.com/roots84/DNS-Swapper/releases
