\brief shadowsocks server, C implementation
\section ss_server_synopsis SYNOPSIS
ss-server [options]
\section ss_server_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. ss-server(1) runs on a remote server to provide secured tunnel service. For more information, check out shadowsocks-libev(8).
\section ss_server_options OPTIONS
Options include all supported platform variants; restrictions are noted below.
\snippet{doc} server.c cli-options
\section ss_server_example EXAMPLE
It is recommended to use a config file when starting ss-server(1).
The config file is written in JSON and is easy to edit.
Check out the SEE ALSO section for the default path of config file.
# Start the ss-server
ss-server --config /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json
\section ss_server_incompatibility INCOMPATIBILITY
The config file of shadowsocks-libev(8) is slightly different from original shadowsocks.
In order to listen to both IPv4/IPv6 address, use the following grammar in your config json file:
{
"server":["::0","0.0.0.0"],
...
}
ss-server(1) also does not understand "port_password" field in config file. If you want to start up multiple server instances with a single config file, please try ss-manager tool. See ss-manager(8) for details.
