Wow, thanks! I had no idea this type of thing was possible these days. I was about to ask how you'd make that hosts file but found this in my router admin panel: 'Remote Console enables SSH access into the router from a WAN connection using the modems WAN IP address.'

Is there an alternative to this that can be run locally?

It's open source ( https://github.com/allo-/firefox-profilemaker ). It's python based so you could run the app and serve the page locally, if that's what you want.
