Testing

Surge uses testing URLs for internet connectivity checks, proxy latency tests, and throughput tests.

Connectivity and Latency Testing

• internet-test-url in [General] sets the URL used for internet connectivity checks; it is also the test URL for the DIRECT policy.
• proxy-test-url in [General] sets the default test URL for proxy policies. A policy can override it with its own test-url parameter.
• test-timeout in [General] sets the default timeout for connectivity tests. A policy can override it with its own test-timeout parameter.

See the [General] section reference for these options, and Common Group Parameters for how policy groups resolve testing URLs and timeouts.
