Built-in Snell Server Mac Only
Surge Mac can accept incoming Snell proxy connections with the [Snell Server] section, letting other Surge devices use the Mac as a Snell server.
[Snell Server]
interface = 0.0.0.0
port = 6160
psk = RANDOM_KEY_HERE
When version is omitted, the server uses Snell v1. Existing configurations continue to work unchanged.
Parameters
interface
The local address the server listens on, e.g. 0.0.0.0.
port
The TCP listening port.
psk
The pre-shared key. Clients must be configured with the same PSK.
version
Optional, 1 or 6, default: 1.
The Snell protocol version served. Only 1 and 6 are accepted.
mode
Optional, default | unshaped | unsafe-raw, default: default. Snell v6 only.
The transport mode. Use default for normal deployments. Clients must set the matching mode parameter on their Snell policies.
Snell v6 Mac 6.8.0+
Set version=6 to enable the Snell v6 server:
[Snell Server]
interface = 0.0.0.0
port = 6160
psk = RANDOM_KEY_HERE
version = 6
mode = default
The built-in Snell v6 server supports reusable encrypted TCP transports and UDP tunneling. Its protocol profile is derived automatically from the PSK, so no traffic-shaping profile needs to be configured manually.
Adding version=6 is required to opt in. Existing [Snell Server] sections without a version continue to use Snell v1.
Client Configuration
Configure an outbound Snell policy on the client with a matching PSK and version:
[Proxy]
My Snell Server = snell, server.example.com, 6160, psk=RANDOM_KEY_HERE, version=6
See the Snell policy reference for all client-side parameters.
