shadowsocks-libev(8) ==================== NAME ---- shadowsocks-libev - a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy SYNOPSIS -------- *ss-local*|*ss-redir*|*ss-server*|*ss-tunnel*|*ss-manager* [-s ] [-p ] [-l ] [-k ] [-m ] [-f ] [-t ] [-c ] DESCRIPTION ----------- *Shadowsocks-libev* is a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy. It is a port of the original shadowsocks created by clowwindy. *Shadowsocks-libev* is written in pure C and takes advantage of *libev* to achieve both high performance and low resource consumption. *Shadowsocks-libev* 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. OPTIONS ------- -s :: Set the server's hostname or IP. -l :: Set the local port number. + Not available in server nor manager mode. -k :: Set the password. The server and the client should use the same password. -m :: Set the cipher. + *Shadowsocks-libev* accepts 18 different ciphers: + table, rc4, rc4-md5, aes-128-cfb, aes-192-cfb, aes-256-cfb, bf-cfb, camellia-128-cfb, camellia-192-cfb, camellia-256-cfb, cast5-cfb, des-cfb, idea-cfb, rc2-cfb, seed-cfb, salsa20, chacha20 and chacha20-ietf. + The default cipher is 'table'. + If built with PolarSSL or custom OpenSSL libraries, some of these ciphers may not work. -a :: Run as a specific user. -f :: Start shadowsocks as a daemon with specific pid file. -t :: Set the socket timeout in seconds. The default value is 60. -c :: Use a configuration file. -n :: Specify max number of open files. + Not available in manager mode. + Only available on Linux. -i :: Send traffic through specific network interface. + For example, there are three interfaces in your device, which is lo (127.0.0.1), eth0 (192.168.0.1) and eth1 (192.168.0.2). Meanwhile, you configure *shadowsocks-libev* to listen on 0.0.0.0:8388 and bind to eth1. That results the traffic go out through eth1, but not lo nor eth0. This option is useful to control traffic in multi-interface environment. + Not available in redir mode. -b :: Specify local address to bind. + Not available in server nor manager mode. -u:: Enable UDP relay. + TPROXY is required in redir mode. You may need root permission. -U:: Enable UDP relay and disable TCP relay. + Not available in local mode. -A:: Enable onetime authentication. -w:: Enable white list mode (when ACL enabled). + Only available in server mode. -L :: Specify destination server address and port for local port forwarding. + Only available in tunnel mode. -d :: Setup name servers for internal DNS resolver (libudns). The default server is fetched from /etc/resolv.conf. + Only available in server and manager mode. --fast-open:: Enable TCP fast open. + Not available in redir nor tunnel mode, with Linux kernel > 3.7.0. --acl :: Enable ACL (Access Control List) and specify config file. + Not available in redir nor tunnel mode. --manager-address :: Specify UNIX domain socket address. + Only available in server and manager mode. --executable :: Specify the executable path of `ss-server`. + Only available in manager mode. -v:: Enable verbose mode. -h|--help:: Print help message. CONFIG FILE ----------- The config file is written in JSON and easy to edit. The config file equivalent of command line options is listed as example below.
