Free Download Shadowsocks For Pc ^HOT^

What I could not foresee is that after all these years, a friend of mine would also face the same problem. As for today, two great alternatives for this are a good match in my opinion.
First, we have sshuttle and I absolutely love it. It helped me a lot during some time but it has a downside. It only works on top of SSH which is currently blocked by the only Cuban telecommunications company so we could not really use it.
Second, we have Outline and this one is also brilliant. I have read a lot about it because it seems it's heavily used to bypass censorship and all it is is a wrapper around a very nice set of tools. It basically sets a shadowsocks connection and configures your device so it behaves like a VPN. This seemed to be the right way to go, but for some odd reason, it did not want to work properly on my friend's computer.
Well, Cuba is not precisely happy about their citizens using tricks to bypass their censorship and control, so they have managed to block protocols like OpenVPN. Every VPN that uses a handshake/header which is easily identifiable can be easily blocked. We could set up some obfuscation on top of the VPNs but this will require our users to also set up something on their side and that's "just fine" for a tech-savvy person, but not for our elders. In most cases, Outline is just perfectly fine because it's very hard to identify or block shadowsocks.
In most of the experiments, we used shadowsocks-libev v3.3.1 as both client and server, since it is an actively maintained and representative Shadowsocks implementation. We believe the vulnerabilities we discovered applies to many Shadowsocks implementations and its variants, including OutlineVPN.
ShadowSocks is a free and open-source encrypted proxy project, widely used in mainland China to circumvent Internet censorship. It was created in 2012 by a Chinese programmer named "clowwindy", and multiple implementations of the protocol have been made available since.Typically, the client software will open a socks5 proxy on the machine it is running, which internet traffic can then be directed towards, similarly to an SSH tunnel. Unlike an SSH tunnel, shadowsocks can also proxy UDP traffic.
The shadowsocks-libev package exist in a 3rd party YUM repo, therefore the repo needs to be added first. Put the following content inthe file /etc/yum.repos.d/shadowsocks.repo (you need to create the file)
The default configuration file for shadowsocks-libev is /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json. A sample configuration is already given.If you want to have a setup with password protection, you can change the configuration file to something like this
What are the drawbacks of using Shadowsocks proxy instead of a private Tor bridge? The only issue that I can think of is that a Tor bridge would provide a higher level of obfuscation between my PC and VPS than v2fly-websocket+shadowsocks or plain shadowsocks. Am I missing anything?
EPEL 6 only contains shadowsocks-libev. Neither shadowsocks-qt5 nor libQtShadowsocks is available for EPEL 6 because the compiler doesn't fully support C++11. libsodium is backported from EPEL 7 to EPEL 6 because shadowsocks-libev 3.x requires a newer version of it.
