I’ve installed Varnish 3.0 on my droplet and since I’m still doing a bit of modification to the new theme, I’d like to know if it is possible to temporarily disable/bypass Varnish so that I do not need to purge it (sudo service varnish restart) each time I make any changes.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

where should i paste this code? Or what is the command to stop temporary varnish cache when i am developing website & looking for changes.
You can configure Varnish to disable caching for a specific IP using something like:
acl passem {
"your.ip.address";
}
sub vcl_recv {
#(..)
if (client.ip ~ passem) {
return(pass);
}
#(..)
}
