About:
Surge is a powerful network utility that enables advanced proxy configurations and traffic interception on macOS. It provides granular control over network routing, allowing users to direct specific traffic through proxies, block ads, or inspect encrypted traffic. The tool is essential for developers, security researchers, and power users who need deep network visibility and control.
Key Features:
  • HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy support with flexible routing rules
  • Network traffic interception and inspection capabilities
  • Rule-based traffic management and domain filtering
  • Built-in network diagnostic tools
  • Support for multiple proxy protocols simultaneously
Use Cases:
  • Debugging API calls and inspecting network traffic during development
  • Bypassing geographic restrictions for testing or access
  • Network security analysis and traffic monitoring
  • Ad blocking and privacy protection through traffic filtering
Alternatives:
  • Charles Proxy – Commercial alternative with GUI, Surge is more lightweight and scriptable
  • mitmproxy – Open-source but command-line only, Surge provides better macOS integration
  • Proxifier – Windows-focused with similar routing capabilities
