DNSMASQ

Install dnsmasq on macOS with homebrew:

 To configure dnsmasq, take the default example configuration at

/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf and edit to taste. 

For individual users

~ vim /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf

# This file will be added to the configuration
conf-file=/Users/your_user_name/.dnsmasq/dnsmasq.conf

~ vim /Users/your_user_name/.dnsmasq/dnsmasq.conf

# example.localhost will be resolved as 127.0.0.1, including subdomains
address=/example.localhost/127.0.0.1
listen-address=127.0.0.1

~ sudo brew services stop dnsmasq

~ sudo brew services start dnsmasq
