shadowsocks-rust

This is a port of shadowsocks.

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

Dependencies

• libcrypto (OpenSSL)
• libsodium >= 1.0.7 (Required for ciphers that are provided by libsodium)

Usage

crates.io

Install from crates.io:

bash cargo install shadowsocks-rust

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

Download release

Requirements:

• Linux x86_64

Download static-linked build here.

Build from source

Use cargo to build.

bash cargo build --release

NOTE: If you haven't installed the correct version of libsodium in your system, you can set a environment variable SODIUM_BUILD_STATIC=yes to let libsodium-ffi to build libsodium from source, which requires you to have build tools (including GCC, libtools, etc.) installed.

bash SODIUM_BUILD_STATIC=yes 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.

bash make install

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

Build standalone binaries

Requirements:

• Docker

bash ./build/build-release

Then sslocal, ssserver and ssurl will be packaged in

• ./build/shadowsocks-latest-release.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
• ./build/shadowsocks-latest-release.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz

Read Cargo.toml for more details.

Getting Started

Create a ShadowSocks' configuration file. Example

json { "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 explaination 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:

json { "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: bash 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.

Supported Ciphers

Stream Ciphers

• aes-128-cfb, aes-128-cfb1, aes-128-cfb8, aes-128-cfb128
• aes-256-cfb, aes-256-cfb1, aes-256-cfb8, aes-256-cfb128
• rc4, rc4-md5
• chacha20, salsa20, chacha20-ietf
• dummy (No encryption, just for debugging)

AEAD Ciphers

• aes-128-gcm, aes-192-gcm, aes-256-gcm
• chacha20-ietf-poly1305

Useful Tools

1. ssurl is for encoding and decoding ShadowSocks URLs (SIP002). Example:

plain ss://YWVzLTI1Ni1jZmI6cGFzc3dvcmQ@127.0.0.1:8388/?plugin=obfs-local%3Bobfs%3Dhttp%3Bobfs-host%3Dwww.baidu.com

Notes

It supports the following features:

• [x] Socks5 CONNECT command
• [x] UDP ASSOCIATE command (partial)
• [ ] HTTP Proxy protocol Deprecated, use privoxy instead.
• [x] Various crypto algorithms
• [x] Load balancing (multiple servers)
• [x] [SIP004](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-org/issues/30) AEAD ciphers
• [x] [SIP003](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-org/issues/28) Plugins
• [x] [SIP002](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-org/issues/27) Extension ss URLs

TODO

• [x] Documentation
• [x] Extend configuration format
• [x] Improved logging format (waiting for the new official log crate)
• [ ] Support more ciphers without depending on libcrypto (waiting for an acceptable Rust crypto lib implementation)
• [x] Windows support. (Depending on mio and coio-rs)
• [x] Build with stable. (Depending on coio)
• [ ] Support HTTP Proxy protocol (it is easy to use another tools to convert HTTP proxy protocol to Socks5, like privoxy)
• [ ] One-time Auth. (Already deprecated according to Shadowsocks' community)
• [x] AEAD ciphers. (proposed in SIP004, still under discussion)
