Use localssjs -h or serverssjs -h to show cli options: Proxy options: Use serverssjs (server ssjs) to start your remote server. You may prefer to navigate clients page and choose clients for your devices instead of using localssjs. The localssjs server will also serve a pac file at (by default) for your apps to avoid unnecessary tunnel work. Use localssjs (local ssjs) to start clients to communicate with applications. Shadowsocks-js has been tested in osx and ubuntu 14 but it's also expected to work in It's recommended to use node v6 to achieve better performance. Node implementation is less likely to fail requests in high concurrency situation.Īnd the higher concurrency benchmarks may be meaningless as the bandwidth and network environment would become the actual bottleneck in the real world.ĭo Please point out my faults if I have missed something or get something wrong. It's not a bug, it's a conscious time/space trade-off.Įach request would cost less time to get responsed (even 50% less time in some situations). Node has a different GC strategy but it's, of course, able to keep thousands of connections with a reasonable memory usage. You can get the benchmark details here or even test your own shadowsocks implementation.Īfter some simple benchmarks that compare both the node and python implementation, my conclusion is: Shadowsocks is a light weight and efficient proxy tunnel and nodejs is a very good choice to achieve both flexibility and good performance in this situation.Īnd I have found that many of who are familiar with shadowsocks-nodejs may be curious about the memory usage so that I have finished some simple benchmarks to measure its behavior.

Why another Nodejs implementation? (with Benchmark).

#SHADOWSOCKS SERVER MANUAL#

To use Shadowsocks after setup, set the SOCKS5 proxy URL in your device, browser or application to External linksīack to Features introduction or manual pages.Yet another shadowsocks implementation for nodejs to help you bypass firewalls. There are also some public Shadowsocks servers listed on the web, but be aware that whoever operates the server can see where requests are going, and any non-encrypted data will be visible to them. Server: the Shadowsocks server is not the FreedomBox IP or URL rather, it will be another server or VPS that has been configured as a Shadowsocks server.

#SHADOWSOCKS SERVER INSTALL#

To enable Shadowsocks, first navigate to the Socks5 Proxy (Shadowsocks) page and install it. The FreedomBox provides SOCKS proxy service on the local network for other devices to make use of its Shadowsocks connection.Īt a future date it will be possible to configure FreedomBox as Shadowsocks server.Ĭonfiguring your FreedomBox for the Shadowsocks client

Shadowsocks server is in a different region, which doesn't have these blocks.Shadowsocks client (FreedomBox) is in a region where some parts of the Internet are blocked or censored. The current use case for Shadowsocks is as follows: The current implementation of Shadowsocks in FreedomBox only supports configuring FreedomBox as a Shadowsocks client. Local devices can connect to this proxy, and their data will be encrypted and proxied through the Shadowsocks server. Your FreedomBox can run a Shadowsocks client which can connect to a Shadowsocks server. It can be used to bypass Internet filtering and censorship. Shadowsocks is a lightweight and secure SOCKS5 proxy, designed to protect your Internet traffic.
