I want to try these DNS-based blockers (AGH or Pi-hole) but am always wondering: is it easy to temporarily disable, or "debug" them?

I have encountered multiple times (not common, but not trivial) that a filter blocks something wrong. With traditional ad-blocker as extension, I can quickly find it out by using build-in logger, and then simply either temporarily disable them or add the site to whitelist with a single click (if I feel like it, I can write my own rule too.)

If I have to change my DNS setting everytime this happens with these DNS-based blockers, I feel like to stick with extensions since I don't really use my phone to browse Internet too much.
