A fast tunnel proxy that helps you bypass firewalls.
You'll have a client on your local side, and setup a server on a remote server.
apt-get install python-pip
pip install shadowsocks
Or simply apt-get install shadowsocks if you have Debian sid in your
source list.
yum install python-setuptools
easy_install pip
pip install shadowsocks
Download OpenSSL for Windows and install. Then install shadowsocks via
easy_install and pip as Linux. If you don't know how to use them, you can
directly download the package, and use python shadowsocks/server.py
instead of ssserver command below.
On your server create a config file /etc/shadowsocks.json.
Example:
{
"server":"my_server_ip",
"server_port":8388,
"local_address": "127.0.0.1",
"local_port":1080,
"password":"mypassword",
"timeout":300,
"method":"aes-256-cfb",
"fast_open": false
}
Explanation of the fields:
| Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| server | the address your server listens |
| server_port | server port |
| local_address | the address your local listens |
| local_port | local port |
| password | password used for encryption |
| timeout | in seconds |
| method | default: "aes-256-cfb", see Encryption |
| fast_open | use TCP_FASTOPEN, true / false |
| workers | number of workers, available on Unix/Linux |
On your server:
To run in the foreground:
ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json
To run in the background:
ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json -d start
ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json -d stop
On your client machine, use the same configuration as your server. Check the README of your client for more information.
Check the options via -h.You can use args to override settings from
config.json.
sslocal -s server_name -p server_port -l local_port -k password -m bf-cfb
ssserver -p server_port -k password -m bf-cfb --workers 2
ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks/config.json -d start --pid-file=/tmp/shadowsocks.pid
ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks/config.json -d stop --pid-file=/tmp/shadowsocks.pid
