In this tutorial, I am going to illustrate how to set up your own Shadowsocks account. Before we start, you need a server, for me, I use the AWS. Then install Shadowsocks for that server.

Shadowsocks configuration:

  1. sudo -s //Get the root permission
  2. apt-get update //update the apt-get
  3. apt-get install python-pip //install python-pip
  4. pip install shadowsocks //install shadowsocks
  5. vi /etc/shadowsocks.json //create a file, and add the following code
    1

    {
        "server":"0.0.0.0",
        "server_port":port,
        "local_address":"127.0.0.1",
        "local_port":1080,
        "password":"password",
        "timeout":300,
        "method":"aes-256-cfb",
        "fast_open":false
    }

Don’t forget “”, that’s quite important.

  1. ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json -d start //start your shadowsocks

Server configuration:

Then you need to go to your EC2 Management Console, go to instances, and find your security groups, then click your security groups, Click Inbound->Edit. Because my port is 8388, so my settings are like these:
vpn_aws_config
The port for your should be your /etc/shadowsocks.json.

Client configuration:

Here is a link for the shadowsocks:
Mac: http://dl.tudouvpn.com/ShadowsocksX-2.4.1.dmg
Then you open the server settings, address should be your elastic IP, port should be the server_port, method is "aes-256-cfb", password should be your own password. Well done. 🙂 We have finished.:-)
