A manual workaround is to go into LocalSettings

Can we just change the IP address in /etc/hosts instead?
Well, we can change a configuration file that's owned by root and
affects a lot of system-wide things, or we can change a configuration
file that any of our developers with login access can change and which
won't screw with attempts to contact the server otherwise.
