Here a gist for some ideas (using the -local instead of -server tool): Installation on clients (Android, iOS, OSX) Otherwise you could create a system job (like Upstart) to wrap it. Use Screen or Tmux to keep it running without to much hassle. The Go server will run in the shell foreground and don’t daemonize.

Server IP: Enter the public IP of the server.

Local port: The default is 1080 for all apps.

Unused by the server, but can fill in if you want to share the config file with client software:

password: generate a passphrase that you provide to all clients later on.

You could disable it on the client if you experience problems.

auth: (deprecated and omitted) Use One Time Authentication (generate a session password to avoid known plaintext attack).

method: Default recommendation by Shadowsocks website is AES-256-CFB.īut the Go-server README suggests: aes-128-cfb is recommended as it is faster and secure enough – I also use 128 to save a little battery on the mobile clients.

The port 8388 is kind of default port for Shadowsocks. You could also use a port number greater than 1000 to avoid using sudo, try 8443 or 8080 first. If possible, use HTTPs port 443, another option would be numbers like 995 (POP3s, if you don’t use POP mail server) or 990 (FTPs). The more common the port, the less likely it will be blocked. I show here the direct download, as it is the easiest and don’t require any change on the server machine. Other option would be compiling by using Go get and written in the README.

You can find prebuild binaries for direct download here: Besides, it offers the unique feature of running on multiple ports at the same time with different passwords, making it easier to share access with other people. I used the Go server program, as it doesn’t need any other prerequisites or libraries on the machine and can run standalone.

In comparison to commercial VPN/Proxy offers, you or someone you trust need command line access to a server outside the restricted area. It works similar like SOCKS5 but uses (better) encryption and (optional) session passphrases to avoid Known Plaintext Attack. Fortunately, this software is available again and was continued by the community.

It was first conceived by Github user clowwindy, who had to take parts of the software down because he got visited by the local police.

We are even sure you will have a better connection using different protocols. If you have been using Shadowsocks, we can only apologize and recommend using other protocols we have to offer. Most people using Shadowsocks would get a better connection using other available protocols like OpenVPN, or WireGuard.All of our other protocols work just fine in those regions. However, almost none of our customers that connect to servers near restrictive regions (most of our users choose the fastest server option) use the Shadowsocks protocol.

As mentioned before, Shadowsocks is historically used by people in territories with internet restrictions.

So we decided to better invest our resources in making sure other protocols are performing as well as they should.

Only a tiny percentage of Surfshark users (0.5%) were using the Shadowsocks protocol.

That being said, there is more than one reason why Shadowsocks has been disabled. Shadowsocks is a free, open-source, encrypted proxy mainly dedicated to people living in territories with specific internet restrictions, like China. I know you are probably wondering why, and in this article, we will explain why we decided to discontinue the protocol, and what's next. We are no longer supporting the Shadowsocks protocol since November 11th, 2021.
