Surge 5: Web Development

Surge 5 is a powerful web development and proxy utility tailored for developers needing advanced network control. It enables takeover of network connections, modification of requests and responses, and forwarding of traffic to other proxy servers using configurable rules. Key features include the ability to intercept and save network data, decrypt HTTPS traffic, and rewrite URLs. Surge 5 supports HTTP/HTTPS/TCP traffic, functioning as a WireGuard Client and offering detailed HTTP request/response recording. Configure rules using domain match, CIDR IP range, and GeoIP lookup. Measure traffic usage and network speed across WiFi, cellular, and proxy connections. Block ads with domain rules and use local DNS mapping for environment switching. Surge 5 also offers header rewriting, raw L3 packet capture, and a Safari extension for adding rules. Extend functionality with JavaScript scripting and sync profiles across devices via iCloud Drive or Dropbox. Advanced features include DNS-over-HTTPS, TLS 1.3, and client-side SSL/TLS certificate validation. It's a comprehensive developer tool.
