Getting shadowsocks client setup

The final command that worked for me is:

ss-local -s serverip -p port -b localhost -l 1080 -k password -m
beforepasswordsemi -u

Here is what I needed to accomplish this:

  1. install ss-local command, which on archlinux was accomplished as: 
    sudo pacman -S shadowsocks-libev
  2. now I opened up my gmail account and got the shadowsocks password from the invite key. Here, this screenshot from reddit was a massive help: url: https://jscomplete.com/playground
  3. following the instruction there, you would get what should go for -k and -m
  4. -k would be the part after semicolon, and -m would be the part preceding it

Now, you have ss-local listening on port 1080

In the SwitchyOmega chrome extension I used, I had to use localhost and not 127.0.0.1
