I bought Surge for Mac because I wanted fine-grained control over network traffic. For example, sending Gmail via the Mail app should go through a proxy, while messages to other domains should be direct. You can cobble that together with Shadowsocks + Proxifier, but Surge is a cleaner, all-in-one solution.
The manual is long, the price is high ($69.99 for macOS, $49.99 for iOS + $14.99/year for feature unlocks), but after using it for a while and comparing it with similar apps, you’ll understand the appeal—it really does “meet all your personalization about network.”
