If you have an active DNSimple web UI session (or API key) you can change your root nameservers by hitting their web tier directly at 50.31.213.210.

We've successfully switched our domains over to nsone.net.

Even without an active session, I was able to get this working by adding an entry to my /etc/hosts file with that IP and dnsimple.com.

This worked for us - moved the DNS to Cloudflare, kept the domain at DNSimple
