\section overview_description DESCRIPTION

shadowsocks-c is a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy. It is a port of the original shadowsocks created by clowwindy. shadowsocks-c is written in pure C and takes advantage of libuv to achieve both high performance and low resource consumption.

shadowsocks-c consists of five components. One is ss-server(1) that runs on a remote server to provide secured tunnel service. ss-local(1) and ss-redir(1) are clients on your local machines to proxy traffic(TCP/UDP or both). ss-tunnel(1) is a tool for local port forwarding.

While ss-local(1) works as a standard socks5 proxy, ss-redir(1) works as a transparent proxy and requires netfilter's NAT module. For more information, check out the EXAMPLE section.

ss-manager(1) is a controller for multi-user management and traffic statistics, using UNIX domain socket to talk with ss-server(1). Also, it provides a UNIX domain socket or IP based API for other software. About the details of this API, please refer to the PROTOCOL section.

ss-redir requires netfilter's NAT function. Here is an example:

# Create new chain
iptables -t nat -N SHADOWSOCKS
iptables -t mangle -N SHADOWSOCKS

# Ignore your shadowsocks server's addresses
# It's very IMPORTANT, just be careful.
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 123.123.123.123 -j RETURN

# Ignore LANs and any other addresses you'd like to bypass the proxy
# See Wikipedia and RFC5735 for full list of reserved networks.
# See ashi009/bestroutetb for a highly optimized CHN route list.
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 169.254.0.0/16 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 240.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN

# Anything else should be redirected to shadowsocks's local port
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 12345

# Add any UDP rules
ip rule add fwmark 0x01/0x01 table 100
ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
iptables -t mangle -A SHADOWSOCKS -p udp --dport 53 -j TPROXY --on-port 12345 --tproxy-mark 0x01/0x01

# Apply the rules
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j SHADOWSOCKS
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j SHADOWSOCKS

# Start the shadowsocks-redir
ss-redir -u -c /etc/config/shadowsocks.json -f /var/run/shadowsocks.pid

\section overview_protocol PROTOCOL

ss-manager(1) provides several APIs through UDP protocol

Send UDP commands in the following format to the manager-address provided to ss-manager(1):

command: [JSON data]

To add a port:

add: {"server_port": 8001, "password":"7cd308cc059"}

To remove a port:

remove: {"server_port": 8001}

To receive a pong:

ping

Then ss-manager(1) will send back the traffic statistics:

stat: {"8001":11370}
