DHCP

Surge can provide DHCP service for devices in the local network when the related network features are enabled.

DHCP Section Mac 6.5.0+

The [DHCP] section can customize DHCP lease behavior. These parameters are only intended for users with special requirements; the default settings are sufficient in most cases.
