A Go port of the Shadowsocks lightweight encrypted tunnel proxy, providing local SOCKS5 client and remote server binaries to bypass firewalls. The project is deprecated in favor of go-shadowsocks2.

Use cases

  • bypass firewalls with an encrypted proxy tunnel
  • run a shadowsocks server in Go
  • set up a local SOCKS5 proxy client
  • tunnel traffic through an encrypted proxy

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight Go-based shadowsocks implementation for legacy deployments

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use go-shadowsocks2 instead
  • you need modern, secure cipher support - this project is deprecated and its protocol is outdated
