This is a port of shadowsocks.

shadowsocks is a fast tunnel proxy that helps you bypass firewalls.

Dependencies

  • libcrypto (OpenSSL) (Required for aes-*, camellia-* and rc4 ciphers)
  • libsodium >= 1.0.7 (Required for ciphers that are provided by libsodium)

Build & Install

Optional Features

  • sodium - Enabled linking to libsodium, which will also enable ciphers that depending on libsodium.

  • rc4 - Enabled rc4 encryption algorithm. Some OpenSSL Crypto does not ship with rc4, because it was already deprecated in 2015.

  • aes-cfb - Enabled aes-*-cfb encryption algorithm.

  • aes-ctr - Enabled aes-*-ctr encryption algorithm.

  • camellia-cfb - Enabled camellia-*-cfb encryption algorithm.

  • single-threaded - Let sslocal and ssserver run in single threaded mode (by using Tokio's basic_scheduler).

  • trust-dns - Uses trust-dns-resolver as DNS resolver instead of tokio's builtin.

Default features: ["sodium", "rc4", "aes-cfb", "aes-ctr", "trust-dns"].

NOTE: To disable dependency of OpenSSL, just disable feature rc4, aes-cfb, aes-ctr, camellia-cfb.

crates.io

Install from crates.io:

cargo install shadowsocks-rust

then you can find sslocal and ssserver in $CARGO_HOME/bin.

Download release

Requirements:

  • Linux x86_64
  • Windows x86_64

Download static-linked build here.

Nightly builds could be downloaded from CircleCI.

  • build-windows: Build for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
  • build-linux: Build for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, Debian 9 (Stretch)
  • build-docker: Build for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Build from source

Use cargo to build.

cargo build --release

NOTE: libsodium-sys builds and links statically to the libsodium in its package. Here are some useful environment variables for customizing build processes:

  • Find libsodium installed in customized path:

    • SODIUM_LIB_DIR - Directory path to libsodium.a or sodium.lib
    • SODIUM_SHARED - Dynamic-link instead of default static-link
  • Find libsodium with pkg-config (*nix), vcpkg (MSVC)

    • SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1
SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1 cargo build --release

Then sslocal and ssserver will appear in ./target/(debug|release)/, it works similarly as the two binaries in the official ShadowSocks' implementation.

make install TARGET=release

Then sslocal, ssserver, sstunnel and ssurl will be installed in /usr/local/bin (variable PREFIX).

For Windows users, if you have encountered any problem in building, check and discuss in #102.

Build standalone binaries

Requirements:

  • Docker
./build/build-release

Then sslocal, ssserver, sstunnel and ssurl will be packaged in

  • ./build/shadowsocks-${VERSION}-stable.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz
  • ./build/shadowsocks-${VERSION}-stable.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.zip

Read Cargo.toml for more details.

Build OpenSSL from source

Specify feature openssl-vendored to let openssl build from source.

cargo build --features "openssl-vendored"

Getting Started

Create a ShadowSocks' configuration file. 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"
}

Detailed explanation could be found in shadowsocks' documentation.

In shadowsocks-rust, we also have an extended configuration file format, which is able to define more than one servers:

{
    "servers": [
        {
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 1080,
            "password": "hello-world",
            "method": "bf-cfb",
            "timeout": 300
        },
        {
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 1081,
            "password": "hello-kitty",
            "method": "aes-128-cfb"
        }
    ],
    "local_port": 8388,
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1"
}

The sslocal will use a load balancing algorithm to dispatch packages to all servers.

Start local and server ShadowSocks with If you Build it with Makefile:

sslocal -c config.json
ssserver -c config.json

If you Build it with Cargo:

cargo run --bin sslocal -- -c config.json
cargo run --bin ssserver -- -c config.json

List all available arguments with -h.

Usage

Socks5 Local client

# Read local client configuration from file
sslocal -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

# Pass all parameters via command line
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --plugin "obfs-local" --plugin-opts "obfs=tls"

# Pass server with SIP002 URL
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" --server-url "ss://YWVzLTI1Ni1nY206cGFzc3dvcmQ@127.0.0.1:8388/?plugin=obfs-local%3Bobfs%3Dtls"

HTTP Local client

# Read local client configuration from file
sslocal -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json --protocol http

All parameters are the same as Socks5 client, except --protocol http.

Tunnel Local client

# Read local client configuration from file
# Set 127.0.0.1:8080 as the target for forwarding to
sstunnel -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json -f "127.0.0.1:8080"

sstunnel basically works the same as sslocal, only it doesn't have any client negociation process, just establishes a tunnel to the forward address.

Transparent Proxy Local client

NOTE: This is currently only supports Linux (with iptables targets REDIRECT and TPROXY)

# Read local client configuration from file
ssredir -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

Redirects connections with iptables configurations to the port that ssredir is listening on.

Server

# Read server configuration from file
ssserver -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

# Pass all parameters via command line
ssserver -s "[::]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --plugin "obfs-server" --plugin-opts "obfs=tls"

Server Manager

Supported Manage Multiple Users API:

  • add - Starts a server instance
  • remove - Deletes an existing server instance
  • list - Lists all current running servers
  • ping - Lists all servers' statistic data

NOTE: stat command is not supported. Because servers are running in the same process with the manager itself.

# Start it just with --manager-address command line parameter
ssmanager --manager-address "127.0.0.1:6100"

# For *nix system, manager can bind to unix socket address
ssmanager --manager-address "/tmp/shadowsocks-manager.sock"

# You can also provide a configuration file
#
# `manager_address` key must be provided in the configuration file
ssmanager -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

# Create one server by UDP
echo '{"add":{"server_port":8388,"password":"hello-kitty"}}' | nc -u '127.0.0.1' '6100'

# Close one server by unix socket
echo '{"remove":{"server_port":8388}}' | nc -Uu '/tmp/shadowsocks-manager.sock'

For manager UI, check more details in the shadowsocks-manager project.

Example configuration:

{
    // Required option
    // Address that ssmanager is listening on
    "manager_address": "127.0.0.1:6100",

    "servers": [
        // These servers will be started automatically when ssmanager is started
    ],

    // Outbound socket binds to this IP address
    // For choosing different network interface on the same machine
    "local_address": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",

    // Other options that may be passed directly to new servers
}
