## What it is
Surfboard is a Surge-compatible network debugging and proxy tool for Android that routes device traffic through configurable rule-based proxies. It supports protocols like SS, SSR, VMess, Trojan, and HTTP/SOCKS proxies with a policy-group rule engine.

## Use cases
- route android traffic through a proxy server
- debug network requests on android with rule-based routing
- bypass censorship on android phone
- configure surge-style rules on android
- tunnel apps through socks5 or vmess proxies
- split traffic by domain or ip rules on mobile

## When to choose
- you need a Surge-compatible proxy client on Android
- you want fine-grained rule-based traffic routing on a phone
- you need to test or debug network traffic through multiple proxy protocols

## When to avoid
- you need a desktop proxy client
- you want a no-config one-tap VPN without writing rules
- you need iOS - Surge itself targets Apple platforms
