A secure proxy system

David Fischer

Shadowsocks uses a technique called proxying to bypass firewalls by making your connection appear legitimate. It redirects your Internet traffic to a server outside your location, allowing you to evade online restrictions and censorship.
Shadowsocks is a secure proxy system that operates similarly to SOCKS5. The local component of Shadowsocks, known as ss-local, functions as a traditional SOCKS5 server, offering proxy services to clients. It encrypts and transmits data streams and packets from the client to the remote component, ss-remote. The ss-remote decrypts this data and forwards it to the intended destination. Responses from the destination are encrypted by ss-remote and sent back to ss-local, which then decrypts and delivers the data to the original client. Released in 2012, Shadowsocks quickly became popular among Internet users seeking to access blocked Western websites. However, its creator, "clowwindy," was pressured by Chinese authorities and retired from the project in 2015. Since then, the open-source community has maintained Shadowsocks.

How Does Shadowsocks Work?

Shadowsocks uses a technique called proxying to bypass firewalls by making your connection appear legitimate. It redirects your Internet traffic to a server outside your location, allowing you to evade online restrictions and censorship. While this technique can be detected and blocked by the Great Firewall, Shadowsocks excels in its ability to automatically encrypt your connection using SOCKS5. This encryption makes the connection appear normal and legitimate to the firewall, enabling you to maintain access to restricted content.

How to get started with Shadowsocks

To begin using Shadowsocks, download the client for your device from the official website. Then, you'll need a virtual private server (VPS) located outside of China. You can purchase or rent these servers from various cloud providers. Choose a provider that fits your budget and requirements. Once you have your server, log in and use the command-line interface to enter the Linux commands for setting up Shadowsocks. You'll need to configure the server port and set a password.

Shadowsocks Encryption vs. VPN

Shadowsocks encrypts the data sent between your device and the proxy server, but it does not encrypt data beyond that point. It's like sending a secret message through a middleman who keeps the message safe only until it reaches its final destination, where anyone can read it. In contrast, VPN encryption covers all the data sent between your device and its final destination. This is akin to placing all your messages in a locked box that only the recipient can unlock and read. This approach keeps your data secure from prying eyes and enhances your Internet privacy. The Shadowsocks protocol is a valuable tool for bypassing censorship restrictions in China. By establishing an encrypted connection between a rented proxy server and your computer’s Shadowsocks client, it offers a secure and effective way to access the Internet without limitations. Since Shadowsocks is not a VPN service, combining both can enhance your online freedom and privacy. Simply choose a VPN that includes Shadowsocks among its protocols. With VeePN, you can enjoy the benefits of both technologies simultaneously and maintain your freedom on the Internet.
