Surge 5 App Description & Overview

What is surge 5 app? Surge is a web development and proxy utility. It is designed for developers and therefore requires professional knowledge to use.

These four capabilities form the core workflow of Surge:
· Takeover: You can take over the network connection sent by the device. Surge supports both proxy service and virtual NIC takeover.
· Processing: You can modify the network requests and responses that have been taken over. This includes URL redirection, local file mapping, custom modification using JavaScript, and many other methods.
· Forwarding: You can forward the taken over network requests to other proxy servers. This can be global forwarding or with a flexible rule system to determine an outbound policy.
· Intercept: You can intercept and save specific data of network requests and responses, and you can also decrypt HTTPS traffic with MITM.

Highlighted Features
· Takeover all HTTP/HTTPS/TCP traffic from any applications on your device, and redirect to an HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5/SOCKS5-TLS/SSH proxy server following highly configurable rules.
· Used as a WireGuard Client to convert the L3 VPN as a proxy.
· Record and display HTTP requests and responses sent from your iOS devices, including body and header.
· Configure rules using domain match, domain suffix, domain keyword, CIDR IP range, and GeoIP lookup.
· Measure traffic usage and network speed on WiFi, cellular, and proxy connections.
· High performance and suitable for intensive use.
· Block ads by domain rules.
· Local DNS Map (equivalent to /etc/hosts). You can use this function to switch the production/development environment for your app without changing any code.
· All features work on the cellular network.
· Decrypt HTTPS traffic with Man-in-the-Middle.
· Perform URL rewrite.
· Fully IPv6 supports.
· Header rewrite.
· Raw L3 packets capture.
· Safari extension to add rules.
· JSON, text, image and video viewer for the captured body.
· Album mode for the request list.
· Pre-filter for capturing.
· HTTPS proxy protocol supports client-side SSL/TLS certificate validation.
· Scripting: Use JavaScript to extend the ability of Surge as your wish.
· Sync profiles cross devices with iCloud Drive or Dropbox.
· DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTP3, DNS-over-QUIC, TLS 1.3 and more advanced features.

Surge 5 Comments & Reviews 2026

New protocols. Thanks for your work. Please, support latest protocols such as vless-xtls, shadowsocks 2022, etc. And there’s a transfer speed cap at ~280 Mbit for Hysteria2, I get much better speed using alternative clients.

Great. Still the best choice of apps in this category. Wonderful protocol support, scripting support and more

Excellent Application. I’m not up to date with this application yet, but I’m excited to get that going on.

Amazing app. Price is a little high but more feature and accessibility than almost any other network application

Easily the best of its kind.. Hands down the most versatile network debugger for iOS you can ever find on the market. A little pricey but totally worth every penny.

easy-peasy. Yeah, you are cute, baby, and you know it!

A. Great. Keep going. Have the best

Scam. Tried this app and I got scammed. Woke up the next day and all of my stuff are gone. Very upset and disappointed.

This application is so gorgeous. Yes , it’s very nice app

Ok but always charge too much and too frequently. I don't know, maybe the developer does not have enough customers or some other reason. He tried to exploit the existing users so much by charging people over and over again.

A little expensive but great. Really powerful software but it’s too expensive for me.

very useful tool!. nice!

Seems solid but a little pricey to upgrade. After upgrade and testing I’ll give detailed review

Best network debug tool!. Surge YYDS

Nice app. It is really nice if u can config it

Way Too Expensive. All the most useful features are blocked by a fifty dollar paywall, completely rendering this app useless. All I want to be able to use MitM to create an ad-blocking paywall, but it’s just not worth $50. I can understand a max of ten, but now I will have to find better alternatives.

支持reality. 刘啊 考虑考虑支持reality吧 想要啊

Whois Function not working. Love the app but my Whois function never loads. How do I fix this?

Best of its kind. Clean UI, easy to use, a must-have app.

Stop repeating in-app alert. The in-app alert is freaking annoying and it perfectly hides the start/stop button, which is interrupting me from normally using surge. The app is great, but please, maybe give me some sort of option to disable it or show it in other ways.

Change to UTF-16. How to switch TCP Packet capture to allow UTF 16? I'm stuck where packet capture cannot pick up unicode chars. I accidentally hit it once, but idk how to change it back. If you can tell me how, I'll purchase full version. Thanks.

Best Proxy/VPN client on iOS. Surge is the best proxy/vpn client on iOS, it offers best performance for various proxy/vpn protocols.

Great App!. Truly amazing and powerful for anyone with the understanding required to use it. It’s feature set is unparalleled as far as I’m aware of. My only gripe is that there need to be useful examples in the documentation! There are none. Show me the awesome things I can do with Surge because it’s a steep learning curve and examples would get me there quicker!

Can’t block by process. block all except mode not work (Can’t use as Firewall)

What an App! It’s a great proxy tool.. What an App! It’s a great proxy tool.

The best network sniffer ever on a phone. I've been using Surge for iOS and Surge for Mac for over a year. It's incredible. Superior to tools like Charles Proxy and Fiddler in many ways, and it can run entirely on your phone or tablet. (But if you want a desktop UI, too, you can connect Surge for Mac as a companion. Best of both worlds.) The traffic capture is the best I've found for iOS - a combination of a local VPN server and a local proxy server that can intercept everything I've needed it to - with robust support for MITM SSL decryption. You can dig through captured requests & responses, complete with syntax highlighting, right on the device. (I'd love a more efficient & advanced request viewer UI on iPad, though.) And, dear Surge devs, please try to solicit app ratings! You don't deserve this low 3.4 star app rating. It undersells your fantastic product.

Apple TV Support. Hi, dev team. Is there any plan to support tvos?

The best Swiss-knife network tool. Surge is the best network tool set I’ve ever used. It is the perfect one if you’re dealing with network development and sniffing.

too expensive. It’s too expensive to worth it.

Good surge. nice

Hackers. This app is for hackers to commit illegal of stealing informations from people DO NOT USE!!!

Decent app but not trial for $50?. The app is amazing but I’d like to try premium features. If the app was $10 or less I would have bought it. But $50 is a bit expensive and I’d like a trial before deciding if I want to purchase or not.

can’t do anything without paid version. this app is complete garbage. Every single feature is locked behind a 50$/year paywall and you can’t even setup a basic firewall

10 STARS! This app LITERALLY saved my privacy from being compromised!!. RUN DONT WALK & DOWNLOAD I purchased the $50 packet WORTH EVERY FREAKING PENNY. I highly suggest if you download you purchase the upgraded version! They respect apple and their terms of use. & PROVIDE YOU WITH A LEGITIMATE LICENSE That apple respects!! So no legal issues in studying and blocking the third parties requests & their connections to gather your data or should i say compromise 😅, you can BLOCK EACH ONE COMPLETELY! I am honestly amazed beyond words and I sincerely want to thank every developer & brainstormers that contributed in the creation of this miraculous app. Literal Geniuses!!!. you guys are phenomenal, thank you so much!:)

Best proxy app ever. Surge is the most elegant & powerful proxy app I have ever used.

it can improve Nintendo online network. I use this software to improve the online network for Nintendo game consoles. This software can use the personal hotspot of the mobile phone to accelerate the game console, which is really easy to use.

The key to connect the world.. l love this App that showed me the world.

Best. Best Network ever used

Great APP. Great APP

Great App!. A powerful network tool!

Best can use for growtopia. This App is best can use for growtopia for private servers

Uh.. wow?. This is definitely a useful tool. I tried the non-pro version and it’s pretty good! If the pro version actually does all the things it says it does, I think I might buy it. Bit expensive, so it will have to wait. Sad. Wanna try out all the things!

so expensive not worth having. Too expensive to have, similar alternative applications are very right, and the price is very high! Not worth it! Garbage! No refund date! Don’t buy it!

Fantastic app. I wouldn’t recommend any other app for network monitoring. Worth the upgrade as well!

Great App. There are many malicious comments due to payment issues. But it’s a great app for sure. Even after so many years, Surge has always been at the forefront.

Please buy PRO to see this comment. Just make the app paid lol, 99% of features are paid already

WoW. This is going to be a fun learning experience.

Great app!. Hello Dear Dev. please consider adding OpenVPN Protocol. It’s useful when user wants to wrap OpenVPN traffic through SSH, HTTP, etc. Specially in countries with heavy crackdown on internet like iran. please add Vless Protocol. And for last please add monthly payment option. u can help peaple all over the world. Thank you.

Great app!. Excellent

buy it. surge is the best tool to me ,iphone,mac,tv,all apple device you can use it!

It‘s worse. Surge 3 is better than Surge4, it was free before but now it‘s worse because it costs money and it‘s expensive too so i would really love that if it would be free again

Scam for Growtopia. If you’re gonna use this for Growtopia don’t it’s a scam to access your acc i lost many wls and this app isn’t worth to try peace out Growtopians

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This is used to compromise passwords and accounts

Can not download.. Can not download

Hack. Don’t download it, it lets the developer into your game and hack and take all your stuff. Again, don’t do it. It’s not worth it

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, IT CAN TRACK DOWN YOUR IP AND OTHER HACKERS USING IT CAN MANIPULATE YOU AND TAKE ANYTHING THEY WANT FROM YOU! I downloaded this app thinking it would do me good but it didnt! Immedietly hackers tracked down my IP and had full control of all my information and passwords to almost every account I have! Stay safe everyone! I believe that most of the reviews on here are fake aswel!

Smh. Seriously.. This app used to be Free now you have to spend 80 Bucks on an app that not many people use, A lot of people were using it but now after this “big fix” update this app has lost a lot of people because no one will pay 80 Bucks for something that was free..

New protocols support needed!. Used to be good. Better to have new protocols supported such as vless, reality, ss2022…

Upgrade to pro. Remove the upgrade to pro im about to delete this app it was free before

Hi love it. Lovit

Buggy. For an app that costs this much money, it performs rather poorly. It has many bugs, the biggest I noticed is that the HTTP Rewrite switch DOES NOT WORK. It is always on. Please fix!

Hacked. Do not download this app, it will take your personal information and grab anything valuable from your accounts!!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS I GOT HACKED. REPORT THIS APP NOW

Hacking software. This app will hack all ur personal stuff, please report and get this app down since it’s unsafe

1 point. for not supporting vless

Greedy. Wish you to the hell

Didn’t work. Didn’t work unless The server being switched to a new one, but still won’t last for more than one day

I can not download. When will be available for download?

awesome app. performance excellent

Do not waste your $50 on this app. Doesn’t even give the response body or request. Useless. Can’t believe I wasted $50 on this. Plus their support section has nothing in it. Scam

Please add Trojan UDP support.. I use Trojan-go as my server, and I would like to see Surge add the Trojan UDP support! Thank you.

Greate app. Feature Request: URL scheme/ Shortcus to change the outbound mode

Nothing shown in recent requests. Same as the title.

Not working any more. It’s been working very well on my phone but since Feb. 7, it fails to connect overseas proxy. Please help.

Greedy. 更新啥呢?都没人用了 Too expensive for too little features. Unstable. Use Shadowrocket instead guys

DONT DOWNLOAD. I got this app for a Growtopia glitch. It turns out it steals the password but as soon as I disabled it's ability to access wifi my account was restored. Then I tried to delete the app which it still wont let me.

Again and again. Charge fee again and again, suggest use quantumult or shadowrocket

No Vmess AEAD support. Already cancel further subscription for lacking Vmess AEAD support. It is useless.

Games,apps,etc. This is soo usefull for Growtopia meaning an app that play online people and people kept destroying our server so i found this thanks

Awful. No trial and high price.. How can I understand without trial?

I’m Only Putting 5 stars to Warn you. If you are trying to use this app for a glitch on a game, don’t . I tried it and I lost All my valuable items on a little game called Growtopia . I had things worth Hundreds of World Locks, the games currency, and it was gone in a split second when I tried a Glitch

The best app for network management. very useful !!!!

Oof. I want surge 3

Must have app. Thank you to all who has been involved in this terrific surge app

Decent app but not trial for $50?. The app is amazing but I’d like to try premium features. If the app was $10 or less I would have bought it. But $50 is a bit expensive and I’d like a trial before deciding if I want to purchase or not.

Good!. It is amazing!

difficult to use. You have to learn how to use this for years,and it just beginning

Please add this feature. Please allow a profile to update its proxy list from a managed profile.

Horrible don’t download. Literally have to pay for everything

Used by HACKERS!. Recently got hacked into my Growtopia account trying to do a “Glitch”. They make you type in some sort of DNS number which links your phone to the hacker, they can now see everything you’ve typed in, including passwords, usernames and emails. BE CAREFUL! DO NOT USE! Do not allow VPN in any circumstance. Report this app to be taken DOWN!

Shame. Shame on your crap attitude

The Best Network Debugging Tool. The Best Network Debugging Tool

Fresh new look. Now we have a better gay dating app! Nice job.

Connect on demand. Can you kindly add connect on demand feature ? Thank you. Edit. Thank you for adding connect on demand!!

Awesome. The best network software I’v used

Great app. Useful and Stable.

bug. too many bugs

The vmess support is confusing.. It was a good app. However, vmess config is not clear. Besides, it asks for subscription to use vmess, which is not well documented in the subscription description.

cant select rule. cant select rule its a bug

Charge for master. Charge for master

Dark mode. Good app but a FREE TO ALL dark mode makes it perfect

Professional & useful. I will buy it on every device I buy

Pls help. I used to use surge all the time for my game. Tell me why I updated it and now I can’t use DNS feature?! Now I have to pay!!! PLEASE HELPPPP

No good. Basic features that other apps like Stream provide, such as HTTPS MiTM, is locked behind paywall. You need $50USD/year to buy it although you know you will rarely be using it, that’s a no no

Price too high. The price is too high!

Won’t work with house WIFI. Creators, help solve this problem when I use it in house WiFi it won’t work but when I use cellular data it works

HTTPS Doesn’t work. It’s a nice app and has a lot of cool features but sadly the https decryption is not working anymore.

Needs Membership to use basic feature. It needs expensive subscription to use very basic features.

Surge 5 App Customer Service, Editor Notes:

Adjustments to the Feature Update Subscription for Surge iOS Since the introduction of the feature update subscription mechanism for Surge iOS, we have aimed to maintain a reasonable balance between continuously evolving the product’s capabilities and ensuring a reliable long-term user experience. After evaluation, we have decided to make the following adjustments: 1. All newly added proxy protocol compatibility support in the future will no longer be included within the scope of the feature update subscription, and will be available directly to all users. 2. TrustTunnel, which is currently supported on an experimental basis, will also not be subject to subscription restrictions and can be used directly. We believe that protocol compatibility should be a fundamental capability provided in a stable, long-term manner, rather than a phased incremental feature. This means that, in the future, users will not need to worry about the availability of basic protocol support due to their subscription status; new protocol compatibility capabilities will also be made available to all users more directly and continuously. After this adjustment, subscription updates will focus more on new advanced features, while protocol compatibility itself will be maintained as a long-term foundational capability of the product. At the same time, the proxy protocol ecosystem itself is also constantly changing. Some protocols continue to evolve, while others gradually fall out of mainstream use cases. To ensure the long-term maintainability of Surge’s codebase and the overall quality of the product, we will also take actual usage into account when placing certain legacy protocols into maintenance freeze, or gradually ending support for them in the future. We will handle related adjustments as cautiously as possible and provide explanations in advance, in order to minimize the impact on existing user profiles and user experience. Thank you all for your continued support and feedback. --------------------- * Added HTTP/2 CONNECT proxy support. You can configure HTTP/2-based CONNECT proxy connections via the h2-connect type. * HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2 CONNECT, and TrustTunnel proxies now support custom request headers. * HTTP/2 CONNECT and the TrustTunnel proxy now support multiplexing. Because too many sub-connections multiplexed over the same TCP connection may cause performance issues, by default up to 3 sub-connections are allowed. This can be adjusted via the policy parameter `max-streams`. * The storage logic for icon configuration in the iOS version has been adjusted. Now, when the profile is editable, it will preferentially be written into the profile to ensure interoperability with the Mac version. Only when the profile is read-only will a separate UI profile be used for storage. * Fixed an issue where sending SNI did not strictly comply with RFC6066. Now, when an IP address is used as the hostname, the IP address will not be sent as SNI. * Fixed an issue where crashes could occur when using ShadowTLS with certain servers. * Fixed an issue where, when the Logbook contained a very large amount of data, it could not be viewed remotely via the Dashboard. * Other performance optimization and minor enhancements.
