中文说明

Install

You’ll have a client on your local side, and setup a server on a remote server.

Client

Server

Debian / Ubuntu:

apt-get install python-pip
pip install shadowsocks

Or simply apt-get install shadowsocks if you have Debian sid in your source list.

CentOS:

yum install python-setuptools
easy_install pip
pip install shadowsocks

Windows:

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.

Configuration

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,
    "workers": 1
}

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

Run ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json on your server. To run it in the background, use Supervisor.

On your client machine, use the same configuration as your server, and start your client.

If you use Chrome, it’s recommended to use SwitchySharp. Change the proxy settings to

protocol: socks5
hostname: 127.0.0.1
port:     your local_port

If you can’t install SwitchySharp, you can launch Chrome with the following arguments to force Chrome to use the proxy:

Chrome.exe --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost"

If you can’t even download Chrome, find a friend to download a Chrome Standalone installer for you.

Command line args

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

List all available args with -h.
