shadowsocks

Getting shadowsocks client setup with outline vpn¶

The final command that worked for me is:

sslocal -s serverip -p port -b localhost -l 1080 -k password -m beforepasswordsemi # (1)

beforepasswordsemi = "before password :", refering to the jscomplete.com output below

Here is what I needed to accomplish this:

1. Install shadowsocks¶

sudo pacman -S shadowsock

2. Outline invite key¶

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:

3. Construct the command¶

Following the instruction there, you would get what should go for -k and -m.

-k would be the part after semicolon, and -m would be the part preceding it

Info

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

systemd autostart¶

Consider making this systemd file and enabling it.

~/.config/systemd/system/shadowsocks.service
